Clean sheets

3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 80.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 37.5 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.22 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.
