Clean sheets

4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.4% 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 25 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
