Clean sheets

5.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 4 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 6.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 58.5 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.17 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.
