0 goals in 10 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 3 goal contributions (0.3 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.91 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.91 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.4% 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 10.7 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.91 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
