Clean sheets

0.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.96 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 39.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
