Clean sheets

5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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

  • Defensive volume. 5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 50.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
