Leicester City’s break-out star Caglar Soyuncu is not leaving the King Power Stadium any time soon, his agent has said.

Soyuncu has become a cult hero at City this campaign, the Turkish international stepping up superbly to fill the void left by Harry Maguire.

As such, he has been linked with a transfer away, with Manchester City and Turkey’s big-hitters like Galatasaray reportedly keen on the 23-year-old.

Brendan Rodgers has said none of his key players will be leaving in January, and Soyuncu’s agent Mustafa Dogru has further reassured City fans, saying the centre-back is focused on ensuring further success for Leicester.

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

“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.”

Soyuncu made just four Premier League starts in his debut City season, the central defender struggling to adapt to life in the UK after his £19m switch from German side Freiburg.

This term, he has played every minute for second-placed City and has earned rave reviews for his displays.

Dogru said Brendan Rodgers and the City squad can take some credit for Soyuncu’s rise, with the defender eager to stamp his mark on the Premier League.

“I have to say, he’s performing well above our expectations,” Dogru added. “Obviously, we were thinking he would get more playing time this season.

“It’s down Caglar's talent, his mental quality, as well as the influence of his coach and team-mates.

“A football player is always open to development. He makes very healthy decisions under pressure and he is good with both feet, helped by playing as a midfielder in previous teams. His manager's confidence also affects him.

“He can still get much better. He will write his name in gold letters in the history of the Premier League.”
