Clean sheets

1.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 2 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 17) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.8 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 7.8% 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 27.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
