4.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 67.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
