Clean sheets

5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 11.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 61.5 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
