Clean sheets

10 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 3 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 10 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 1.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 51.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (10 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
