Clean sheets

2.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.1, Keita carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superettan (top 32%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
