Clean sheets

0.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.7 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Creativity. 0.35 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.96 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 24 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
