Clean sheets

4.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.34 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 4.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 8.6% 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 38.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.79 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.
