Clean sheets

4.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.47 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 44.3 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
