Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 38.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
