Clean sheets

1.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.53 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 10.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 4.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
