Clean sheets

4.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 66.7 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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.
