1.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 7.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
