Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Clean sheets

0.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.68 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.51 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 29.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
