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

ImpactMcAteer 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 debutFatawu assisted once to go with four crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.

ImpactFatawu 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.

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

ImpactAfter 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.

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

ImpactHermansen 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.

Archie Gray - Makes debut MondayGray generated two tackles (one won) and one clearance in Monday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City.

ImpactGray made his Spurs debut Monday, as he replaced an injured Rodrigo Bentancur in the 78th minute. The 18-year-old made two tackles and one clearance in his short appearance, playing just ahead of Spurs' back four. With Bentancur likely to miss at least Saturday's home opener, Gray could make his first Premier League start.

Lucas Bergvall - Active in debutBergvall recorded one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Leicester City.

ImpactBergvall was subbed onto the pitch in the 78th minute and despite only logging 12 minutes, he made an impact. He took one off-target shot, created one chance, recorded two crosses (one accurate) and took on corner on the attack. He also logged three tackles on the defensive end. The club are clearly fond of the 18-year-old, and he will likely be a consistent bench option throughout the 2024/25 campaign.

AUGUST 20•ROTOWIRE

Dominic Solanke - Three shots in debutSolanke recorded three shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City.

ImpactJust over a week after completing his transfer to Spurs, Solanke started the season opener. He showed exactly why Spurs brought him in, putting three shots on target and creating one chance. While he was unable to find the back of the net, he will have plenty of opportunities throughout the season thanks to a talented attack feeding him the ball.
