Clean sheets

5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) 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. 5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
