1 goal in 6 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.2 goals, 0.2 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 23.1 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
