Clean sheets

1.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) 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 11 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 69.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.42 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.97 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 16.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
