Clean sheets

2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 6 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 56.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
