Caglar Soyuncu has emerged as a target for Manchester City as the champions plan a overhaul of their squad.

The Turkish centre back has impressed at Leicester City so far this season, thriving at the Foxes following Harry Maguire's move to Manchester United in the summer.

Man City have taken note of the 23-year-old's form as they hunt a long-term replacement for Vincent Kompany, and it's looking increasingly likely that Pep Guardiola will stay for the rebuild, according to The Sunday Times.

The report also details that Brendan Rodgers and Leicester would be reluctant to let Soyuncu leave for anything less than the £80million they sold Maguire for.

Champions City, who fell 11 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League following a 2-2 draw at Newcastle on Saturday, are planning a squad reshuffle.

A centre half in January is their number one priority, given the long-term injury to Aymeric Laporte which has forced Fernandinho to fill in at the back.

Although the Brazilian has performed admirably, John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi have struggled which makes an addition in defence inevitable.

Soyuncu is enjoying life at the King Power though, with his agent recently saying on Turkish radio, 'a transfer is neither on his nor the club’s agenda.'

The Turkey international signed in the summer of 2018 from Freiburg for £19million, and despite a lack of minutes last season he has been one of the standout performers in a Leicester team currently third in the Premier League ahead of their match against Everton on Sunday.

City are also planning in other areas of the pitch - they are looking for a long-term replacement for captain David Silva, while talks have begun to secure Raheem Sterling to a new long-term deal.
