His 92.7% pass accuracy places him in the top 5% of defenders in the division—not just neat sideways passes, but 5.27 progressive balls into the final third per 90, suggesting genuine intent to break lines. His goal contribution rate sits in the top 20%, a counterintuitive figure that reveals an underrated offensive threat from set-pieces that opponents routinely underestimate.
