Career report
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Peak: 2023/24Trending downBreakout: 2023/24StreakyStepped up 2024/25
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 1 club — 134 appearances with 16 goal contributions from defence.
His best campaign on record is 2023/24 at Leicester — Season rating 53, 3 goals and 3 assists in 39 games. 2023/24 was the leap — Season rating up 47 points at Leicester. Form has slipped 16 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 16 Season points.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±17 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2024/25 (Premier League) and kept playing — 18 games that season.
