Clean sheets

4.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 85.4 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.64 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.
