Clean sheets

3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 7 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th of 24) 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

  • Defensive volume. 3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15.3% 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 21.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.69 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.
