Clean sheets

1.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 22) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 7 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.53 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.26 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 68 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.26 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 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
