Clean sheets

3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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. 3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93.2/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 12.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 53.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.87 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
