Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.7 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Creativity. 0.7 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 5.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

  • Game time. Only 3.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 42.5 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
