Former Leicester City loanee, Cengiz Under, has been particularly honest when asked about his time in England with the Foxes.

As our friend Emre Sarigul of Turkish- football.com put it, ‘sometimes it just doesn’t work out for some players at certain clubs, even the talent ones‘. A truer statement about transfers is yet to be made, or I am yet to hear it if so. And this rather long saying or phrase can definitely be applied to ex-Fox Cengiz Under.

In spite of a problematic and underutilised tenure on Filbert Way, the diminutive, tricky winger is set to have a starring role for Turkey at Euro2020. It would be perfectly ironic for Foxes fans if Under was to have a thrillingly successful tournament. Maybe if that hypothetical is realised (Under playing well this summer) the King Power club will attempt to re-sign him. Good ‘bants’, eh?!

dark. Next. Tielemans in advanced contract talks?

A part of the Blue Army mildly criticised exceptional manager Brendan Rodgers for not using the Turk more, as a deficiency exists on the right-wing for Leicester. While the Northern Irishman knows exactly what he is doing at LCFC, there are questions for any boss – even someone of Alex Ferguson’s perceived untouchable presence. Though I doubt Fergie would’ve considered terrible attacking and defensive zones on set pieces: that ‘tactic’ is the former Liverpool gaffer’s only real shortcoming, to be truthful.

Rodgers didn’t really make errors with ‘Cengo’, who was offered chances – and actually grasped one or two of them early in the campaign. The Roma man explains the issues fairly well himself:

I was out for a long time.“I always want to play and I’m sad when I don’t play. You can be sure that I will show Cengiz Under again to the Turkish people and the world to the Europeans.”– Cengiz UnderVia Leicestershire Live"
