Caglar Soyuncu has made just five Premier League appearances since joining Leicester City for £19m from Bundesliga side Freiburg.

Caglar Soyuncu could leave Leicester City on loan this summer with Fenerbahce keen to bring the seldom-seen defender back to Turkey, according to Sporx.

Leicester appeared to have pulled off a real coup when they signed the talented centre-back in August from Bundesliga outfit SC Freiburg but they have yet to really see much of a return on their hefty £19 million investment, as reported by Sky Sports.

Soyuncu has made just five Premier League appearances in a forgettable debut season and has been left out of the match day squad for two of Brendan Rodgers’ three games in charge of The Foxes.

And according to Sporx, the 22-year-old could be on his way out of the King Power Stadium after just 12 months with Fenerbahce keen to sign him on loan for the 2019/20 season.

Fener’s coach Ersun Yanal has apparently given the move the green light as he looks to bring a new defender to Istanbul. Fenerbahce have endured a dismal season and are still just four points above the relegation zone.

Soyuncu is currently behind Wes Morgan, Jonny Evans and Harry Maguire in the pecking order at Leicester while Filip Benkovic will return from a loan spell at Celtic in the summer.
