Clean sheets

3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 74% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

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

Outlook

Rated 54.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.8 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.
