Output in context · Chelsea finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 2 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.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 97.4/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 5.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 72.1 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2 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.
