Output in context · Leeds finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 4 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93.2/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 2.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 68.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
