Clean sheets

2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 47.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.44 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.
