£19m Deadline Day Signing Makes Impressive Start to Leicester City Career

Caglar Soyuncu

Leicester City’s deadline-day signing Caglar Soyuncu has played his first game for the Foxes.

The Turkey international joined Leicester for £19 million from Bundesliga side Freiburg.

Soyuncu has been eased into life at Leicester City and only began training with the squad last week. The 22-year-old has also been recovering from a minor thigh injury.

The powerful centre-back started for Leicester’s u23 side on Monday evening and played the full 90 minutes. The Foxes U23 registered a 4-1 win over Blackburn U23.

According to the Leicester Mercury, Leicester boss Claud Puel was impressed by the Turkey international’s performance.

Per the source, the defender made a number of impressive interceptions and was comfortable with the ball at his feet.
