Clean sheets

2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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 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 defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 39.4 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
