Clean sheets

4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 22) 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

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 65.1, Kita carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División (top 13%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Real Sociedad II finished 15th of 22) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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.
