3 clean sheets in 14 appearances (21% of games).

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 52 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
