Goals / app

7 goals in 32 appearances (0.22 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 14 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.32 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
