Clean sheets

3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 86.9, Yoro carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League (top 6%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.81 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.
