Clean sheets

4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 38 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 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 94.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.5, Haspolat carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League (top 15%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (KVC Westerlo finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
