Clean sheets

3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 69.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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.
