Clean sheets

6.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 5 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 22) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 6.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 49.9 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
