Many Liverpool fans on Twitter were clearly impressed with what they saw from Leicester City defender Caglar Soyuncu on Boxing Day despite the Foxes’ 4-0 defeat to the Reds, with plenty encouraging their club to sign the Turkey international.
Brendan Rodgers’ men went into the clash at the King Power Stadium looking to close the gap to the runaway Premier League leaders, but they were ultimately out-classed throughout by the Merseyside outfit.

One of the big moments in the match actually came when Soyuncu gave away a second-half penalty after handling Trent Alexander-Arnold’s corner, with James Milner duly dispatching it to make the scoreline 2-0.
Nevertheless, the 23-year-old Leicester man did impress at other points of the fixture, especially on one occasion when he managed to out-pace Mo Salah, which is no mean feat.
Liverpool supporters discussed the former Freiburg man both during and post-match and said they would like to see him arrive at Anfield, with a couple suggesting he would be a good replacement for Dejan Lovren.
Some others were a little more general in their thoughts about signing the 23-year-old, with one suggesting he is the “closest thing I’ve seen to Virgil this season” – high praise indeed considering the big Dutchman was the runner-up for the 2019 Ballon d’Or.
However, obviously not everyone was convinced by Soyuncu’s quality and there was also a couple of Liverpool supporters who feel that he isn’t yet good enough to play for Jurgen Klopp’s men.

One even suggested that despite currently playing for a team that is in the top three in the Premier League, that he is nothing more than “a top 8 CB”.
