Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 68.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.39 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
Rated 87.5 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.75 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.
