Clean sheets

7.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 2 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 4) 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. 7.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 14.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 38, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 0.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (7.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
