Clean sheets

2.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.46 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.6, Vantukh carries the 10th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League of 13. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
