Clean sheets

4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 4 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 22) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.52 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Creativity. 0.52 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 60.2 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.14 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.
