Clean sheets

3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 59.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
