Ilkay Gundogan urges Manchester City to target Caglar Soyuncu

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan suggests that his club should attempt to sign Leicester City centre-back Caglar Soyuncu.

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has suggested that his club should attempt to sign Leicester City centre-back Caglar Soyuncu during this summer's transfer window.

Soyuncu, who joined the Foxes from Freiburg in 2018, has been a key player for Brendan Rodgers's side during the 2019-20 campaign, making 35 appearances in all competitions.

The 24-year-old still has more than three years left to run on his contract at the King Power Stadium, but Gundogan has urged his side to target the Turkey international.

"I agree with the general opinion of football fans. Caglar Soyuncu had the best performance in the Premier League this season after [Virgil] van Dijk," Gundogan told Fanatik.

"I didn't know him before. We met when we played against each other. In addition to the Premier League matches, we faced Leicester City in a cup game two years ago.

"We became opponents in many matches. We always saw and talked to each other and started getting to know each other. He's a very good boy. I love him. His understanding of football and character are also very good.

"His performances for both Leicester and Turkey are good. I hope we see him in better places. The first one that comes to my mind about the Turkish player I want to see at Manchester City is Caglar."

Soyuncu has scored once in 28 Premier League appearances this season.
