Clean sheets

3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 22) 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. 3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 55.4, Mensah carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Segunda División of 12 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
