Output in context · Cardiff finished 19th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 5 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.48 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Creativity. 0.48 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 59.8 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
