Clean sheets

1.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.46 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 97.9/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 17 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 85.6 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 17, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
