Manchester City Set To Raid Leicester City For Their Top Player

With just a month to the commencement of the January transfer window, reigning Premier League champions, Manchester City have began plans to solve their defensive issues, and are targeting one of Leicester City’s top players, Caglar Soynucu.

City’s manager, Pep Guardiola has made Caglar Soynucu his top priority because Aymeric Laporte is out injured and John Stones and Fernandinho are struggling to fill the void created by him.

The 23-year-old from Turkey has been a mainstay in the Foxes’ defence this season, which has conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League this season – just eight.

According to The Sunday Times, Guardiola is keen to reshape his aging squad, with Soyuncu a possible target to replace Vincent Kompany.

The Spaniard could only watch on in astonishment as the Magpies pegged back his side twice at St James’ Park, meaning the gap behind league leaders Liverpool stands at 11 points.
