Clean sheets

0.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 13 goals and 13 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 1.03 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.52 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.24 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 39.8 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.24 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.
