Clean sheets

2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 55.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
