Odsonne Edouard - Loaned to Leicester Edouard has joined Leicester City on a season-long loan from Crystal Palace.

Impact Edouard makes the move to Leicester following a decline in playing time at Palace once new manager Oliver Glasner took over last season. Edouard has scored 21 goals in his three seasons at Palace and will provide depth behind the aging Jamie Vardy at Leicester.

Bilal El Khannouss - Transfers to Leicester City El Khannouss has completed a transfer to Leicester City from Genk after signing a four-year deal with the club.

Impact Widely regarded as one of the most exciting talents in the Jupiler Pro League and one of Morocco's top performers in the 2024 Paris Olympics, El Khannouss will add depth to Leicester's attacking line with his creativity and versatility. He needs to adjust and settle to the pace in England, though, so he's not expected to play a prominent role out of the gate for the Foxes in their return to the Premier League.

Conor Coady - Sees time off bench Coady (undisclosed) appeared for 18 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 4-0 Carabao Cup win against Tranmere.

Impact Coady has finally returned from his issues after going down in early August, with the defender having appeared off the bench Tuesday. This is good news for the club, as it secures his fitness moving forward, likely pushing for starting time now that he is healthy. However, he will still have to earn that role, probably beginning in more of a rotational role to begin his time back from injury.

Stephy Mavididi - Subbed on against Fulham Mavididi registered one tackle (one won) in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Fulham.

Impact Mavididi replaced Jamie Vardy in the 71st minute and recorded only five passes and one tackle. Mavididi has been challenged to fight for his position in the starting 11 this season due to the arrival of Bobby Decordova-Reid, who has taken his starting position on the left flank.

Buonanotte Facundo - Assists against Fulham Buonanotte assisted once to go with two crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Fulham.

Impact Buonanotte crafted a headed equalizer for Wout Faes in the 38th minute with a well delivered corner. Buonanotte created three chances, completed a dribble and also made three tackles and an interception. He has started his loan spell at Leicester quite positively and will be targeting to develop himself further.

Wout Faes - Scores against Fulhan Faes scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Fulham.

Impact Faes netted a headed equalizer in the 38th minute off Facundo Buonanotte's expertly delivered corner. Faes also significantly contributed defensively with eight clearances, three blocks and two interceptions, but made a poor error which led to good chance for Rodrigo Muniz.

Mads Hermansen - Concedes two against Fulham Hermansen had four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Fulham.

Impact Hermansen recorded four saves, but conceded goals to Emile Smith Rowe and Alex Iwobi from a similar position and angle. Hermansen, similar to last season, looks set to be Leicester's first choice goal keeper for this season.

Jordan Ayew - Joins Leicester City Ayew completed a transfer to Leicester City from Crystal Palace, the club announced.

Impact Ayew made the switch to Leicester on a permanent transfer, as expected. The forward wasn't likely to play a major role for Palace with new signings coming in, so he now moves to Leicester. He should be a depth option there more likely than not, though Jamie Vardy won't be able to lead the line every week, opening more chances for Ayew.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Kasey McAteer - Signs long-term contract McAteer has signed a new long-term contract with Leicester City until 2028, according to the club.

Impact McAteer will continue with his boyhood club, as after joining the club at the age of eight, he has signed a new contract at the age of 22 until 2028. He established himself as a decent first-team player last campaign, starting in 13 of his 23 appearances while notching six goals on 32 shots. He should continue to see similar time this campaign, probably serving in a rotational role, as he did appear for four minutes off the bench in their season opener Monday.

Issahaku Fatawu - Assists in PL debut Fatawu assisted once to go with four crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Fatawu started off his Premier League career well as he assisted Jamie Vardy's equalizer in the 57th minute. It was one of two chances he created in the match. He also put in great work defensively, recording six tackles and five clearances in his full 90 minutes of action. After a great season in the Championship last season and a great start to this season, Fatawu looks set to be a crucial part of Leicester's attack.

AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE

Jamie Vardy - Scores in return to PL Vardy scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact After scoring 18 goals in Leicester's promotion season, Vardy made his return to the Premier League Monday and showed why he's a Premier League legend. He scored a close-range header in the 57th minute to tie the match at 1-1, marking his 10th Premier League season with a goal. While the 37-year-old can still look great in moments, it's unlikely he will be starting and scoring in every match.

AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE

Mads Hermansen - Impressive in PL debut Hermansen registered five saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Hermansen made his first Premier League start Monday and looked very good. Spurs' talented attack recorded six shots on target and Hermansen saved five of them. Next up he faces a more favorable matchup at Fulham, a side which was shut out in its season opener.
