1 goal in 26 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.05 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 58.5 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.05 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
