Clean sheets

2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 4 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 46 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
