Clean sheets

2.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) 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 15 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.89 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 60.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
