Clean sheets

2.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 11 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th of 17) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.43 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 7.3% 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 39.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
