Clean sheets

2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 2 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 24) 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

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 5.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 55.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
