Clean sheets

1.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 77.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.93 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 27.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
