Clean sheets

2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.6, Ghion carries the 38th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie B of 79, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Empoli finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
