The profile on paper is straightforward: a veteran centre-forward whose game is measured by end-product and minutes on the pitch rather than flashy fluctuations in influence[^fact-1]. ## Season form Across the season he logged 38 appearances and 3,002 minutes, a clear sign of a regular role and heavy involvement[^fact-2]. That volume produced 16 goals and 5 assists, underlining finishing as the primary output of his game[^fact-3]. Provider metrics back a steady contribution: the season average rating sits at 7.35, which aligns with a consistent, above-average performer on the score sheet[^fact-4]. Over the last five matches the underlying numbers show 1.05 expected goals and 0.45 expected assists, suggesting the scoring opportunities and chance-creation have been present even if conversion can vary[^fact-5]. ## Availability & momentum Minutes and selection have not been an issue — the season minutes total reflects sustained availability and trust from matchday squads[^fact-2]. Recent on-field momentum is tangible: three goals in the last five appearances across 359 minutes indicates a forward finding rhythm in front of goal[^fact-6]. The most recent outing ended in a heavy team defeat but contained personal returns: a goal in a 0–4 loss, accompanied by an individual match rating of 7.69[^fact-7]. That combination — a personal contribution in a poor team result — highlights a player whose scoring remains a steady outlet even when the collective performance dips[^fact-7]. ## What to watch Next fixture offers a simple checklist rather than an unknown: monitor whether his minutes remain high and whether the rate of chances inside the box keeps matching the 1.05 xG across the last five matches[^fact-2][^fact-5]. If selection and minutes mirror the season pattern, the conversion profile that produced 16 goals and 5 assists across extended playing time becomes the baseline expectation[^fact-2][^fact-3]. The clearest value signal is his recent minutes-to-goals efficiency — three goals in 359 minutes — which indicates a hot-streak finishing rate worth tracking through the coming matchday windows[^fact-6]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 35 years old · France · Attacker · current club Monaco.
