Clean sheets

2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 2 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 38.5 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (2 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.
