Clean sheets

2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 32 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 24, Ghannam carries the 40th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Pro League of 48. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
