Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.57 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
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 28 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
