Clean sheets

2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 67% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 45.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.79 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.
