Clean sheets

2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 5 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 85% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 34.8 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
