Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 32.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
