Clean sheets

4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 47.9 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
