Arsenal Transfer News: Manchester City Rumoured to Hijack Caglar Soyuncu Deal

Manchester City are reportedly ready to overtake Arsenal in the hunt to sign Freiburg defender Caglar Soyuncu this summer, and manager Pep Guardiola is said to be a big admirer.

Turkish newspaper Milliyet (h/tTurkish-Football.com) reported Guardiola likes Soyuncu for his passing and ability to play the ball out from the back, not to mention talks are already said to have taken place between City and the German club.

Soyuncu, 21, joined Freiburg from Turkish club Altinordu in 2016, helping them climb back into Germany's first tier before impressing again this season as they look to steer away from relegation.
