1.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 2 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 1.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 1.3 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99.1/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 58.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
