Clean sheets

2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (21st of 22) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 63.3 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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.
