Season by season

2026-27 against his past seasons · per 90 minutes

How this season compares with the ones before it. 2026-27 is drawn dashed — it is only 2 appearances old.

Past seasons are the totals API-Football records for him league-wide, and a season spent outside the league leaves a gap rather than a bridged line. The club is the one the feed records for that season. A per-90 rate needs 90 minutes behind it, so a shorter season shows no rate at all. Minutes per club match is minutes over 38 for a past season.

Playing time = minutes ÷ the club's matches played, so a starter reads near 90 and a substitute reads his true share. 2026-27: 3 club matches so far. 2025-26: minutes over 34 matches for any Ligue 1 club — the club shown is the one the feed records for that season. The trend needs 450+ minutes last season and 90+ this season.

Defensive contribution is API-Football's ball-winning count: tackles + blocks + interceptions. It does not include clearances or ball recoveries, which API-Football does not publish, so it is not the same measure as the England site's. Tackles, recoveries and clearances-blocks-interceptions are this-season counts only: the API's past-season totals carry just the composite, so no trend is available for those three.

Where these numbers come from. Every figure on this page is read from API-Football (api-sports.io) for Ligue 1. Nothing is estimated or typed in by hand; anything the source does not publish shows “—”. Per-90 rates are the total × 90 ÷ minutes. There are no expected goals: API-Football does not publish them, so no actual-versus-expected comparison appears. “Ball-winning” here means tackles + blocks + interceptions, and is not the same measure as on the France site, which uses API-Football index and includes clearances and recoveries. Minutes per club match = minutes ÷ matches the club has played; past seasons are spread over 34.
