Clean sheets

3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 16) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.41 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.
