Clean sheets

3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 16) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20% 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 28.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3 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.
