Clean sheets

2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

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

Watch points

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

Outlook

Rated 62.8 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.82 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.
