2.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 45 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
