Clean sheets

6.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 22) 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 6.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 30.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
