Leicester City centre-back Caglar Soyuncu has admitted that he is enjoying the change in his role this season.

After the departure of Harry Maguire to Manchester United, Soyoncu stepped up as the club's first choice center half alongside Jonny Evans.

He only played six times for the Foxes last term, but he has been nearly ever present this term.

Leicester are flying high in the Premier League as they chase a top four finish.

"Of course, it's not easy to replace world's most expensive defender," the 23-year-old told TRT Spor.

"There is pressure and that's completely normal. But as a footballer, you have to overcome the pressure.

"Every player in the Premier League has that pressure. But my teammates and the manager are helping me a lot. I think we started the season quite well; we have a great friendship inside the team."
