Output in context · AC Milan finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
1.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.42 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 79.7 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.91 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. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
