Clean sheets

3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 21 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 59 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.54 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. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
