Clean sheets

1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.81 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46.8, Keskinen carries the 12th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership (top 30%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.81 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.
