Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 5.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 43.3% 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 27.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
