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

Rated 65.1 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. 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.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~72), then tapers with age. At 20, Kita sits on 23.5, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Kita's projected Rating — 65.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
