Clean sheets

2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 60.3 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
