Across 18 matches, Navidi averages over seven tackles per game — a figure that speaks to a player consistently involved in the defensive battle throughout every minute he is on the field. His carrying numbers are modest but purposeful, suggesting a forward used primarily as a defensive engine and link man rather than a ball-carrier. His peak outputs — 19 tackles and 11 carries in a single match — confirm that when the intensity demands it, he is capable of stepping up significantly across both phases.
