Clean sheets

2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.7% 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 21.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
