January Transfer Not On Caglar Soyuncu’s ‘Agenda’, Claims Agent<\/h2>\n

Agent: A Transfer Is Neither on His nor the Club\u2019s Agenda<\/h3>\n

Leicester City<\/a> will retain the services of their stand-out Turkish defender, Caglar Soyuncu, after the player’s agent ruled out a move away from the King Power Stadium.<\/p>\n

Brendan Rodgers had previously stated that none of his key players would be leaving in January.<\/p>\n

However, Soyuncu’s agent Mustafa Dogru has added extra comfort to Foxes fans by saying the central defender is committed to Leicester.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Turkish radio station Radyosport (via the Leicester Mercury<\/a>), Dogru said: “After such performances in the Premier League, it is quite natural for transfer news to appear.<\/p>\n

“Caglar now focuses on the success of the team. A transfer is neither on his nor the club’s agenda.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Soyuncu struggled for form in his debut season with City, making just four Premier League starts after his \u00a319 million switch from German side Freiburg.<\/p>\n

The defender has now fully adapted to life in the UK, playing every minute for City this season.<\/p>\n

As a result of his top-class performances, the defender has earned plenty of praise.<\/p>\n

“I have to say, he’s performing well above our expectations,” Dogru added.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, we were thinking he would get more playing time this season.<\/p>\n

“It’s down Caglar’s talent, his mental quality, as well as the influence of his coach and team-mates.<\/p>\n

“A football player is always open to development.<\/p>\n

“He makes very healthy decisions under pressure and he is good with both feet, helped by playing a midfielder in previous teams. His manager’s confidence also affects him.<\/p>\n

“He can still get much better. He will write his name in gold letters in the history of the Premier League.”<\/p>\n
