Clean sheets

1.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th of 24) 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 7.7% 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 28.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
