Manchester City fans have given their reactions on social media to reports club could target defensive duo Jonny Evans and Caglar Soyuncu from Leicester City.

According to Sky Sports, the reigning Premier League champions are considering their options ahead of the January transfer window, with the Foxes duo on their shortlist.

Soyuncu has been a revelation this season for Leicester after replacing the departed Harry Maguire at the back.

The Turkey international signed in the summer of 2018 for £19 million (BBC Sport), but spent most of his time on the bench before getting his chance in 2019/20.

Evans also signed for Leicester for £3.5 million in 2018 (BBC Sport) and has been massively underrated during his time with the Midlands club.

The former Manchester United and West Bromwich Albion player is undoubtedly one of the most consistent centre-halves outside the traditional top six.

City’s apparent interest comes after the team’s early struggles in defence this season, with Aymeric Laporte out injured and Vincent Kompany no longer at the club.
