0 clean sheets in 9 appearances (0% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a goalkeeper.
  • Creativity. 0.36 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 21.6 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
