Clean sheets

1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 14 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 56.9 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
