Output in context · Jong Ajax finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
6.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 6.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 48.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.32 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.
