Clean sheets

3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 50.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
