Clean sheets

1.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 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 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.47 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.33 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.6 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 77.4 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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.
