Clean sheets

3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 38 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 94.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99/100).

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook

Rated 51.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
