Output in context · Grenoble finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
8.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 2 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 8.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 0.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 48.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (8.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
