A left-back, he renewed his contract on 5 June 2018 and again on 12 July 2019, the latter deal running to 2024. He broke into the first-team squad in August 2019 and 2020/21 was his most substantial season at the club, when he was used as a regular option at left-back under Jorge Jesus and featured in the league and in Europe.
