Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Clean sheets

4.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 3 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. 4.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 1.9% 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 35.5 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
