The Leicester City attacker could see his game time be depleted as a result of on-going links to Matias Soule.
Steve Cooper remains adamant to secure the signing of Argentinian winger Matias Soule ahead of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign.
It remains to be seen whether Cooper will get his man, especially with the Juventus attacker reportedly preferring a move to Roma at this moment in time, however Leicester City have placed a sizeable bid of around £21m to obtain Soule’s services.
Whether Cooper is able to secure a move for the youngster or not, it is clear that he is very keen to bolster his wide options, despite the arrivals of Issahaku Fatawu and Bobby De Cordova-Reid being confirmed this summer.
As a result, this could leave a Leicester City winger surplus to requirements, and Cooper may have to make a decision on him
Leicester City winger Kasey McAteer may have to be loaned out this season
Despite having sufficient wide players, Cooper remains adamant to add wide players to his squad, which could make it difficult for Kasey McAteer to lock down a first-team spot in the 2024/25 Premier League season.
It could be a case that McAteer is loaned out to a top Championship club in order to aid his development, as not having guaranteed game time at the age of 22 could be highly detrimental to the youngsters development.
McAteer featured on 23 occasions in the Championship winning 2023/24 campaign, and was described as ‘important’ by former boss Enzo Maresca, per Fotmob.
