Clean sheets

2.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 14.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 41.5 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
