Output in context · Marseille finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 4 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 88.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Outlook
Rated 47.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.35 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 (0.9× and falling).
