Clean sheets

6.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 15 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 6.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 49 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
