    Soyuncu is seen as the perfect replacement for Manchester United newcomer Harry Maguire as the Foxes start life without their defensive talisman.<\/p>\n

    He joined the club last summer but only made six appearances in the Premier League with competition for places keeping him out of the first-team.<\/p>\n

    But, the 23-year-old has already made an impression in training this season with his aggressive nature being noted with caution by his teammates.<\/p>\n
