Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 26.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
