Clean sheets

5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 2 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) 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. 5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.2% 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 26.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
