7 goals in 33 appearances (0.21 per game) for a mid-table side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 11 goal contributions (0.33 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.58 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0.21 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 56.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.31 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 27.9 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.58 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
