Scouting Report & Player Insights
Cağlar Söyüncü is an aggressive, front-foot Turkish centre-back now anchoring Fenerbahçe's defence after spells at Freiburg, Leicester City and Atlético Madrid. A left-footed defender, he combines strong aerial ability and combative dueling with confident ball-carrying and progressive passing from the back. His eagerness to step out can leave space behind him, and durability has been an intermittent concern, but at his best he remains one of the Süper Lig's most commanding defenders.
Became a Premier League regular at Leicester City after Harry Maguire's departure, earning strong praise in the 2019-20 season.
Won the FA Cup with Leicester City.
Long-standing Turkey international who has featured at European Championships.
Joined Atlético Madrid on a free transfer from Leicester before returning to Turkey with Fenerbahçe.
