Clean sheets

2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 21) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.8% 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 26.2, Dieng carries the 36th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 73. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
