Clean sheets

1.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 10 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 90% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.45 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.32 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 20.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
