Clean sheets

2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Creativity. 0.31 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 61.7 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
