Clean sheets

1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.76 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 54.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
