Clean sheets

4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 56.9 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
