Clean sheets

4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 8 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 44.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
