Clean sheets

4.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 3 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 1.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Creativity. 1.17 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 4.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 29.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.68 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.
