Clean sheets

2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.58 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.39 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 55.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
