Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

Game time. Only 30.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook

Rated 14.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 32, Nakamura sits on 1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Nakamura's projected Rating — 14.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
