Clean sheets

1.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.42 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
