Interceptions

Clean sheets

2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 15) 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

Game time. Only 37.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 0.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
