Clean sheets

2.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 46 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
