Breaks deadlock in draw
Lejeune scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Valencia.
Analysis: Lejeune broke the deadlock in the 20th minute with a header that left Stole Dimitrievski helpless following a perfect cross from Gerard Gumbau (undisclosed). Lejeune earns most of his fantasy upside via defensive stats, but he can be a threat on offense in set-piece situations. He has two goals, one assist and 48 shots (17 on target) this season. Those shooting numbers are very good for a defender -- especially one who has also recorded 218 clearances through 35 league starts.
Signs extension with Rayo Vallecano
Lejeune signed a contract extension with Rayo Vallecano through the end of the 2027-28 season, the club announced.
Analysis: Lejeune has been a key figure for the Franjirojos since joining ahead of the 2022-23 campaign, making 157 official appearances and contributing 11 goals during that stretch. The French center-back's extension is a significant piece of business for Rayo, securing one of their most experienced and reliable defensive presences for the coming years. His longevity and consistency at the club made the renewal a natural outcome for both parties.
