Clean sheets

2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points
