Clean sheets

4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th of 24) 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

  • Defensive volume. 4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 54.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
