Clean sheets

2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.3, Wesley carries the 26th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 63, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Internacional finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
