Clean sheets

4.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 10) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 16.2% 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 32.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
