Clean sheets

3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94.2/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 83.3 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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.
