9 clean sheets in 33 appearances (27% of games).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 97.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

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

Outlook

Rated 85.8 overall — elite — among the best in the position. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
