Clean sheets

3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 59.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
