Clean sheets

2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 74% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).

Watch points

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

Outlook

Rated 73.2 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
