Clean sheets

2.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 54.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
