Clean sheets

4.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 47.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
