Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Clean sheets

2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 8.4% 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 36.7 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
