Clean sheets

1.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 22 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.44 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 62 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
