Clean sheets

1.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.13 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 32.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
