Clean sheets

1.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 24) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 12.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 48.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
