Clean sheets

6.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.61 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Creativity. 0.61 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 6.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 55.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.11 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
