Soyuncu to stay in EPL amid transfer rumours but at which club uncertain

Leicester City’s Turkish centre-back Caglar Soyuncu makes an interesting statement amid transfer rumours concerning his club future.

While we all endure another dreaded and boring period without Premier League football due to another international break, Foxes of Leicester strive to continue bringing the Blue Army the latest news. In addition to offering our opinions on all updates; including views on any transfer rumours or speculation that arises within and around the LCFC sphere.

With that being said, let’s immediately dive into the reports over the past while that Leicester star Caglar Soyuncu is a wanted man. Coupling the hearsay with FoL’s assessment that the Turk has gone from being one of the most promising centre-halves in the English top-flight, to an occasionally dangerous asset through overconfidence in previous campaigns.

We now arrive at a rather different and indifferent status of the former Freiburg man: as anyone from expert pundit to inexperienced supporter can comprehend that he has underperformed this season. I personally still rate the 25-year-old; yet feel that his time on Filbert Way may be coming to an end.

In fact, a departure might now be the best and most appropriate outcome for both parties. With the return to fitness of Jonny Evans and Wesley Fofana, Soyuncu seems increasingly likely to spend time on the substitute’s bench. One redeeming element could possibly be the reintroduction of a three-defender system by manager Brendan Rodgers.

In recent ‘news’, the Izmir-born, tough tackling player has been linked with a move to Manchester United, along with Chelsea. If the imposing ‘CB’ were to leave the East Midlanders, their fans would prefer he went abroad so not to face him regularly.

Meanwhile, Soyuncu’s contract expires next year and he has given an interview confirming that he desires to remain in the EPL. Altough, he doesn’t specifically state at which team that would ideally be. In February, a reporter claimed that the Fox wanted a move. Leicester usually offer a new deal or sell when in this position.
