Clean sheets

4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.8% 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 45.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.59 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.
