1 clean sheet in 3 appearances (33% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 60.9 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
