This Leicester star is likely to receive the next contract renewal
Leicester City don’t like their main assets to have anything less than two years on their contracts. And Caglar Soyuncu is next in line for a renewal, alongside Youri Tielemans.
It’s true, the Foxes are far more careful since the N’golo Kante contract clause slip up. And the less said about the Adrien Silva debacle – the better! We all also know over the previous five or so seasons, on average, Leicester’s recruitment has clearly been one of the best if not the greatest overall in the Premier League. If not the world. And that goes for incomings as well as outgoings.
One element of success in pre-season is retaining your best players, naturally; this off-season witnessed a frenzy among LCFC support for the re-sign of Belgium star Youri Tielemans. Now Harvey Barnes has extended his deal, will Tielemans be next?
Well, no, possibly not as it appears that Turkish centre-half Caglar Soyuncu will be handed a fresh contract before his Belgian teammate:
"Leicester City will make a new contract for Caglar Soyuncu a priority alongside renewing Liverpool targets Harvey Barnes and Youri Tielemans’ deals, according to The AthleticVia HITC"
Hopefully Tielemans will put pen to paper as soon as possible to keep Liverpool away.
Leicester City press conference prior to West Ham United game
During his pre-match presser for West Ham, Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers talked about and addressed a number of topics and issues. Firstly the manager wisely refused to confirm whether new centre-back signing Jannik Vestergaard would make his initial start for the King Power team.
Then BR admitted Ryan Bertrand is unavailable for the London clash; though James Maddison is in contention to begin.
Lastly, the gaffer praised the Blue Army or Leicester’s support, away in particular. The Northern Irishman exclaimed how happy he is to have them back in stadia, saying they’re “great”. Rodgers is also hopeful his side on the day can obtain a result to send the loud and proud faithful home happy.
