Clean sheets

2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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 8 goals and 10 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 95.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.56 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.31 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 39.4 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
