Clean sheets

8.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 16 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 16) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.74 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.74 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 8.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 4.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 22.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (8.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
