Clean sheets

5.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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

  • Defensive volume. 5.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 5.4% 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 36.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.82 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.
