Clean sheets

3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 21 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.38 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 71.8 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
