Clean sheets

3.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
