Output in context · Manchester City finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
4.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 4.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99.5/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 77.6, Aït-Nouri carries the 6th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League (top 20%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.37 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 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
