Leicester City duo subject of Manchester City interest
Leicester City duo Jonny Evans and Caglar Soyuncu are attracting interest from Manchester City, according to Sky Sports.
What if they couldn’t get Harry Maguire and Ben Chilwell? They are going to try again and go for another Leicester duo that is just as good – maybe even better – wouldn’t they?
You just know that this rumour has some truth to it, just as the rumours about their interest in Chilwell and Maguire had truth to them.
Whether they manage to get anyway near their targets is surely an interesting question but you should be already bracing yourselves for a lot – a lot – of speculation about Leicester’s centre-back pairing – maybe the Premier League’s best defensive pairing.
Evans has been a target for the Citizens before. In fact, he was supposed to move to the Etihad Stadium from West Bromwich Albion in 2017; however, the Baggies kept rejecting all offers only to sell him for £3.5 million after being relegated from the top division.
We already knew the Foxes had landed a gem in Evans, but let’s be honest, he has been even better than we thought he would be. He is one of the reasons – if not the reason – behind Soyuncu’s rapid rise as well.

His experience and nous were always going to come in handy but this handy? Guardiola must be kicking himself for missing out. His side could do with someone of the mould because they really are lacking a genuine leader at the back.
Leicester, meanwhile, seem to have plenty.
