Clean sheets

2.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 8 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.51 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 81.4 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
