Across 16 appearances as a replacement, Sarragallet consistently contributes more through his tackling than his ball-carrying, averaging over six tackles per match with a single-game peak of 19 — numbers that point to a player trusted to shore up the defensive line when introduced. His carry volume is modest but steady, suggesting his primary impact is disruptive and physical rather than expansive. The combination of high tackle output and reliable minutes off the bench paints a picture of a specialist impact defender.
