Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Goals / app

2 goals in 15 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.22 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 34.5 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.22 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
