Clean sheets

4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.3/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 77.6 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
