Clean sheets

4.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 12 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
