Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 61.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.73 goal contributions per 90 (0.43 goals, 0.3 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.02 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 24 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.73 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
