Clean sheets

3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) 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

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 12.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 56.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.16 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.
