Clean sheets

3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 16 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 47 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
