His passing accuracy was also clocked in at 69.6%, showing that he is calm and resourceful in possession of the ball – traits that Premier League clubs will certainly make note of.

Holding onto their star defender will be a task that is better said than done for Boro, who will no doubt be aware of the plethora of top flight clubs that have already shown an interest in the player.

Of course there are other areas of his game that need work but at the same time he is someone that has undoubted potential and that is something which will only naturally attract attention from elsewhere as time goes on.
