  • Creativity. 1.36 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 8.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 2.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Rated 45.2 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (8.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
