Clean sheets

4.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 24 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.3% 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 29.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.91 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.
