Clean sheets

4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.4/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 10% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 67.9 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.1 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.
