2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 32.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
