Clean sheets

3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 43 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.69 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.
