Clean sheets

2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 2 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 4.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 51.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
