Clean sheets

1.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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 6 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 67.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.25 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 56 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.25 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
