Fulham Football Club has honed in on the Turkish defensive talent of Caglar Soyuncu (28) as a key target to fortify their roster ahead of the forthcoming season. With Tosin Adarabioyo poised to depart via a Bosman transfer this summer, the London outfit perceives Soyuncu as the ideal candidate to bolster their defensive ranks.

Soyuncu’s journey through the footballing landscape has seen him traverse various leagues and clubs. Marking a significant move, the towering defender joined Atlético Madrid in La Liga on July 5, 2023, inking a four-year deal. However, his tenure in the Spanish capital was curtailed as he embarked on a loan spell to Süper Lig side Fenerbahçe on January 29, 2024, for the remainder of the season.

In his brief tenure at Fenerbahçe, Soyuncu illustrated his defensive prowess in 14 appearances, contributing with a goal and an assist. His versatility and standout performances have captured the attention of Fulham‘s scouting apparatus, who perceive him as a player capable of making an immediate impact in the Premier League.

On the international stage, Soyuncu has been a linchpin in the Turkish national team, amassing 55 caps and notching a solitary goal. His wealth of experience at the international level adds further allure to his profile, rendering him an enticing prospect for clubs seeking defensive solidity.

According to Transfermarkt.com, his current market value stands at 12 million euros. Notably, his peak valuation reached 45 million euros in May 2021.

Capable of operating as both a center-back and left-back, Soyuncu brings versatility to the defensive setup. Standing tall at 1.85 meters, Soyuncu’s dominance in the air is a defining attribute that sets him apart on the field. In addition to his physical prowess, he boasts commendable leadership qualities and technical acumen, encompassing playmaking, dribbling, and timing, thus rendering him a well-rounded defender capable of influencing proceedings at both ends of the pitch.
