Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan was full of praise this week for Leicester City defender Caglar Soyuncu.
Speaking to Turkish outlet Fanatik, Gundogan praised Soyuncu's form this season.
“I agree with the general opinion of the football public. In this season, Caglar Soyuncu had the best performance in the Premier League after Van Dijk," Gundogan said. "I didn't know him before. We met when we met in matches. In addition to the Premier League games two seasons ago, we also matched with Leicester City in a cup. We became competitors in many matches. We always saw and talked to each other.
"We started getting to know each other. His football understanding and character are also very good. His performances for both Leicester and the national team have been good."
Gundogan was then prompted to name the Turkish player he would want City to sign, and he returned to Soyuncu.
“The first thing that comes to my mind about the Turkish player I want to see in Manchester City is Caglar."
