Clean sheets

4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 14.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 38, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 6.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
