Clean sheets

1.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.42 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.4, Spinazzola carries the 45th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 50. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
