Clean sheets

3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

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

Outlook

Rated 64.3 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
