Clean sheets

5.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.3% 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 43 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
