He has notched at least one clearance in three straight showings, racking up eight and adding one tackle (zero won) and three blocks, with no clean sheets.

He has scored three of his five Serie A goals in the last two matches. He has taken at least one shot in 13 straight fixtures, amassing 41 (15 on target) and posting 12 key passes, 18 tackles (six won) and 14 interceptions over that span.
