Clean sheets

1.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 49.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
