  • Availability. On the pitch for 84.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook
