Output in context · Celtic finished 1st of 12 · a title-challenging side
5.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 5.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 50.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
