Clean sheets

4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 2 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.3% 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 28.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
