Bashir Humphreys emerges as Championship’s top young defender according to the stats | OneFootball

The international break is always a good time to check in on our loan players and how they’re getting on, and in the Championship there’s one Blue looking really tidy.

Like most loan players heading down the leagues, Bashir Humphreys needed a few games to show his new manager he could be trusted, but he’s quickly earned that faith and is now a Swansea regular at centre back.

His performances have been good enough to earn him the 4th highest WhoScored rating in the whole league of players under 21.

His 7.20 per game puts as the highest rated defender in the whole division. Impressive work for a 20 year old.

Swansea are still 12th, but have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 4, so they’re really getting into gear, and we expect Humphreys to play an important role in helping their progress up the table. Humphreys has played in 4 of those 5 games, so the evidence is there that they’ve really gone up a gear since he got into the team.
