Clean sheets

2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.4/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • 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 moderate defensive volume (2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
