Clean sheets

2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 22) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 8.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
