Career report
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Peak: 2023/24Trending downStreakyStepped up 2024/25Injury-hit 2025/26
The record covers 6 seasons (2022/23–2025/26) across 3 clubs — 124 appearances, 11 goals and 9 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2023/24 at Southampton — Season rating 47, 7 goals and 4 assists in 46 games. Form has slipped 43 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 43 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 28 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±19 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2024/25 (Premier League) and kept playing — 18 games that season.
