Clean sheets

3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 65.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94.5/100).

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 26.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
