Clean sheets

3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th of 24) 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Game time. Only 47.9% 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 39.8 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.81 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.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 26, Sarpong-Wiredu sits on 8.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Sarpong-Wiredu's projected Rating — 39.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
