Clean sheets

1.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.56 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 100/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 16 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 4.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 82.9 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 16 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 16, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
