Clean sheets

1.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 17) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.82 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
