Clean sheets

1.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 3 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 4) 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 69.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96.7/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.44 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 87.8 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
