Clean sheets

2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 24) 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 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50, Khela carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One (top 8%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Peterborough finished 18th of 24) — 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 (2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
