1.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 42 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) 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 8 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
