Clean sheets

4.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 3 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd of 24) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.6% 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 38.4 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
