Caglar Soyuncu has been in impressive form for Leicester City since filling in for Harry Maguire this summer.

Soyuncu joined City from Freiburg in summer 2018 but spent a season on the bench before getting his big break after Maguire was sold to Manchester United.

The Turkey international has attracted widespread interest this term and The Sun have reported that Arsenal and Manchester City are interested.

Soyuncu’s agent Mustafa Dogru has however, made it clear that Soyuncu is fully focused on Leicester for the time being and that neither him nor Leicester are considering a transfer.

Dogru told Turkish radio station Radyospor: “After such performances in the Premier League, it is quite natural for transfer news to appear.

“Caglar now focuses on the success of the team. A transfer is neither on his nor the club’s agenda.

“I don’t know what’s going on in the future, but he’s thinking about his achievements at Leicester City and with the national team.”

The Foxes are currently 2nd in the Premier League 11 points above Arsenal and three ahead of City.

Soyuncu has started every game for Leicester this season scoring one goal and providing one assist in 14 games.

The Turkey international also played a key role in his country booking a place at Euro 2020.

Turkey conceded just three goals, kept eight clean sheets and took four points off world champions France in the qualifiers.
