Clean sheets

4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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

  • Defensive volume. 4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.8% 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 35.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
