Clean sheets

4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 52.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
