Clean sheets

3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 24) 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 6 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 29.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
