Clean sheets

3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 29 appearances.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 55.6, Ugwu carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie (top 15%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
