Clean sheets

3.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.5% 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 33.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.94 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.
