Clean sheets

3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 22) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 53 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.34 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.
