Clean sheets

3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 74.5 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.24 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.
