Ünder Feeling Settled In 'Friendly' Foxes Camp

Midfielder Cengiz Ünder speaks to LCFC TV about his early weeks at the Club ahead of Leicester City's trip to Arsenal on Sunday.

"I’m the kind of player who actually gets better with each game that I play and become better after each game, I would say.

"If the manager gives me the chance to come into the team, I'll do my best and I’m always ready to do that.

"I’m ready to contribute whenever the opportunity comes my way."

Ünder already knew one of his new team-mates before joining the Club - fellow countryman Çağlar Söyüncü - who has helped the winger to quickly settle into life at Leicester City.

Everyone has been so friendly, so it's taken a lot less for me to actually get used to everything and I am very happy to be here.

The 23-year-old added: "To be honest I was expecting it to take longer, the adaptation period.

"Before I arrived, Çağlar Söyüncü told me what a great bunch of lads we will be playing alongside here and what great friendship there is within the team, so I'm impressed with that.

"I was excited to get started and I’ve seen that for myself already, which has made the first few weeks easy for me.

"Everyone has been so friendly, so it's taken a lot less for me to actually get used to everything and I am very happy to be here."
