Clean sheets

5.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Creativity. 0.34 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 5.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 16.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 61.7 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.11 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 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
