Clean sheets

1.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.94 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 15.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.94 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).
