Clean sheets

3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 17 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 56.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 17, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
