Clean sheets

3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 15.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
