Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Creativity. 0.33 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 16.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
