1 goal in 33 appearances (0.03 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.15 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.2 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 34.8 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.2 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
