Clean sheets

5.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) 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: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 5.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 47 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
