Clean sheets

2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 2 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 24) 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: 2.5 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Creativity. 2.5 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 1.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 62.5 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
