Clean sheets

2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 34.8 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
