Clean sheets

1.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.9% 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 23.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
