Clean sheets

3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 16) 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 86.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 26.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
