Clean sheets

1.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 9 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.77 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 4.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 38.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
