Clean sheets

5.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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. 5.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 8.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Value & potential by age

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~7), then tapers with age. At 20, Ihendu sits on 6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Ihendu's projected Rating — 36.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
