Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
