Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

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

Outlook

Rated 77.6 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
