Clean sheets

2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 59.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
