Clean sheets

4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 16 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 50.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
