Clean sheets

3.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 15 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.38 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 6.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 48.8 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.4 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.
