Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 24.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
