Jordan Henderson
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Jordan Henderson's performance-implied value at EUR 1.3M-2.5M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.4M-1.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.5M-1.1M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.02x the positional average in the league (1921 minutes, league coefficient 1.30). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
Acquisition note: Final year of contract: selling club's leverage is reduced.
