Manchester City Close to £10m Deal for Leicester Winger Jeremy Monga
Short overview
Manchester City are finalizing a £10m deal for Leicester City's 16-year-old winger Jeremy Monga. Arsenal had also shown interest but withdrew after deeming the valuation too high.
Manchester City are working to complete the signing of Leicester City winger Jeremy Monga, with a proposed deal worth in the region of £10 million, according to sources. The two clubs are in direct contact over the 16-year-old, and the move is now close to being finalized.
Arsenal Withdrew from Race
Arsenal had made contact with Leicester regarding a deal for Monga last month but ultimately withdrew after feeling the club's valuation was too high. The Gunners were among several clubs monitoring the talented youngster, but they decided not to pursue the transfer further.
Background on Jeremy Monga
Monga, a winger, has been with Leicester City's academy and is regarded as one of the most promising young talents in English football. At 16, he is not yet eligible for a professional contract, but City's proposed fee reflects their belief in his potential. The deal would see Monga join City's youth setup, with a pathway to the first team.
The move underscores Manchester City's continued investment in young talent, as they look to secure the best prospects from across the country. Leicester City, meanwhile, will receive a significant fee for a player who has yet to make a senior appearance.
