4 goals in 17 appearances (0.24 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.9 goal contributions per 90 (0.72 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 14.7% 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 44.6 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.9 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
