Clean sheets

1.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.49 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 59.5 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
