Clean sheets

11.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 6 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 11.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 1.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 40.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (11.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
