2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
