Leicester City defender Caglar Soyuncu is proud of the way he's replaced Harry Maguire this season.

Soyuncu admits he knew he was under pressure to perform after Maguire left for Manchester United.

“At the beginning of the season, it was printed instead of playing," Soyuncu told Fotomac.

He continued: “It is the most expensive stopper in the world and your team does not buy stoppers because it trusts you.

“You play instead of someone who transferred to 80 million pounds.

“We're going well now, but the important thing is to keep it going. I played 30 matches, but it's important to increase this to three-digit numbers. It is very important to be at the same level throughout your career.

“After the games we played well, I was preparing myself as if I was preparing for my first game in the first training.

“I think this has had an effect. He still has the ambition to win. I think this is very important for young players."

He added: "I don't think it would be right to go somewhere right now.

“I'm having a good season. Above all, I still have a lot to learn."
