Clean sheets

2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 4 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94.5/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 73.6 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
