Clean sheets

4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 17) 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 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 48.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.17 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 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
