Clean sheets

4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 52.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
