Clean sheets

2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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: 0.93 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Creativity. 0.93 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 49.8 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.78 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 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
