Clean sheets

3.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15.3% 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 31.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
