Clean sheets

4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 42 appearances.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 68.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

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

Outlook

Rated 66.8 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
