3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 5 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 6.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 52.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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.
