Clean sheets

1.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.1% 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 21.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
