Clean sheets

2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.6/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 16.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 72.6 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
