Clean sheets

4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 8 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 46.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
