  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Creativity. 0.32 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 43 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
