Clean sheets

1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 31 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.62 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Creativity. 0.31 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 20 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
