Yunus Akgün, who was loaned to Leicester City from Galatasaray last summer, has continued to impress with his performances.
His manager, Enzo Maresca, has praised Akgün, calling him a versatile player who can play as a winger or an attacking midfielder.

Maresca has said that Akgün can give the team “a lot, a lot, a lot more”.
“He is a winger who loves to come inside so we can think to use him as an attacking midfielder,” he said.
“He can do more,” Maresca said this week. “He is adapting very well. He gave us two assists against Liverpool and Blackburn. He arrived here not 100 per cent but now he is getting better. For sure he can give us much, much, much more, no doubt.”
“For me, he’s more an inside player than a winger. Sometimes he has to play as a winger. But for me he’s more an inside player than a winger.”
Akgün has played 8 official matches for Leicester City so far, starting in 4 of them. He has contributed 2 assists in a total of 336 minutes on the pitch.
Akgün was not able to get much playing time under manager Okan Buruk at Galatasaray last season but excelled during his time at Adana Demirposr under the management of Vincenzo Montella and his then assistant Maresca.
It is clear that Yunus Akgün is a talented player with a lot of potential. He is still young, but he is already making a name for himself in the English Premier League. It will be interesting to see how he develops in the coming seasons.
