Clean sheets

2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 9 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.4 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 18.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
