Clean sheets

1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) 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 5 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 97.9/100).

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.76 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 94.3 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
