Clean sheets

1.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.56 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 59.8 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
