Clean sheets

4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) 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

Availability. On the pitch for 68.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.2, Djiku carries the 43rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 48. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~3), then tapers with age. At 31, Djiku sits on 1.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Djiku's projected Rating — 17.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
