3 goals in 27 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 13.5 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.34 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
