Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.41 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Creativity. 0.41 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 7.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 7.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
