Clean sheets

3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 41 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) 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 4 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 19.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
