Clean sheets

6.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 4 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 21) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 6.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 16.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 49.8 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
