Clean sheets

5.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 15) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 5.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 16 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 51.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 16 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 16, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
