Clean sheets

3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.45 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 47.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.91 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.
