Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on Leicester’s Caglar Soyuncu, according to the Daily Mail.

Spurs finished in the top four of the Premier League and are looking to bolster their ranks ahead of a big season.

Tottenham announced yesterday that ENIC had “agreed a capital increase of up to £150m”.

Football.london has suggested that the majority of that £150m will go towards backing Conte in the market this summer.

This is to help him build a team to challenge at the top of the Premier League and in the Champions League.

Defence is an area Conte is reportedly to bolster, and Soyuncu seems like a good shout for Tottenham.

The 26-year-old has impressed for Leicester since joining from Freiburg for a reported £19million in 2018.

He has made 123 competitive appearances for the Foxes, winning the FA Cup in 2021.

Soyuncu has also won 45 caps for Turkey and played at Euro 2020.

However, Tottenham are far from the only club in pursuit.

As well as Spurs, the likes of Chelsea, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are reportedly eyeing Soyuncu.

The 6ft 2in ace’s Leicester contract expires next season.

In a further development, he has switched agents ahead of a ‘pivotal summer in his career’.

Soyuncu is now represented by the Los Angeles-based agency Wasserman.

“He’s a very good boy”

Since joining Leicester, a number of top players and pundits have all lauded Soyuncu.

In June 2020, Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan told Fanatik, via 90Min: “I agree with the general opinion of the football public.

Caglas Soyuncu had the best performance in the Premier League after Van Dijk this season.

“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, started getting to know [each other].

“He’s a very good boy. I love him.”
