Clean sheets

1.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.5 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 4.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
