Clean sheets

2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.6/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 36.4 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
