Clean sheets

3.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 73.1 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.06 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.
