Clean sheets

4.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 6 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 4.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
