Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 2 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 1.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 47.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
