Clean sheets

1.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.4/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 70.1 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
