Clean sheets

5.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 5.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 48.9 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
