1 goal in 6 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.08 goal contributions per 90 (1.08 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 4.9% 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 27.8 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.08 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
