Clean sheets

1.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th of 24) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 11.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 57.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
