Clean sheets

1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 4 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th of 24) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.44 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 56.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
