Clean sheets

4.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.5% 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 solid defensive volume (4.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
