Clean sheets

3.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (21st of 22) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.9% 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 40.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.45 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.
