Output in context · Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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 4 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 97.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
Rated 95.4 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
