Output in context · Arsenal finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 100/100).
