Clean sheets

1.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 6 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.71 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.4 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.36 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 39.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
