Clean sheets

1.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 3 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 10.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 64.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.99 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. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
