Clean sheets

3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 78% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 17 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 64.96400000000001 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 17 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 17, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
