Clean sheets

2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 21) 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 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.56 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.37 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.4, Ashour carries the 35th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 73 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
