Clean sheets

4.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 4 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 5.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
