Clean sheets

5.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 67.8 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
