Output in context · Arsenal finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
1.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 24 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 1 goal and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.46 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.39 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 100/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.71 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
Rated 67.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
