Winner named in Man City and Man United race to sign Leicester City wonderkid Jeremy Monga
Leicester City have been producing some really talented players from their Seagrave academy in recent years.
Ben Nelson and Will Alves are being tipped for bright futures and have both represented England at youth level.
Sammy Braybrooke is also regarded as one for the future whilst Jake Evans and Louis Page, who are enjoying their debut campaigns with Leicester’s under-21s, are also catching the eye.
But, it’s Jeremy Monga who’s shone the brightest and garnered interest from some of the biggest clubs on the continent.
With that said, Leicester City News can provide the latest update on his future in the East Midlands.
Jeremy Monga agrees deal with Manchester City
Leicester City News understands that teenage wonderkid Jeremy Monga has agreed a deal with Manchester City.
Man City have been tracking Monga over the last few months as continues to impress with Leicester’s under-21s and at youth level with England.
Monga, who turns 16 this summer, has been on international duty this week and captained the young Three Lions against France, Columbia and Denmark, netting in each fixture.
Whilst Monga is happy to make the switch to the Etihad, Leicester and Man City are yet to agree a deal.
A tribunal may be the way forward for Pep Guardiola’s side to make a breakthrough.
Manchester United and Chelsea interested in Monga
Speaking to the site, TBR’s transfer expert Graeme Baileym revealed that Manchester United and Chelsea are among the clubs looking at Monga.
“I understand that a host of clubs wanted Monga – Man United, Chelsea and Newcastle,” Bailey said.
“There were also German giants RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund amongst others.”
At the moment, Man City are very much in the driving seat, but there’s still work to be done yet.
Another busy day is in store for Leicester City as the weekend gets closer.
Leicester’s next game is against Chelsea in a must-win fixture given that the Foxes could find themselves eight points behind Wolverhampton Wanderers if they beat Everton on Saturday night.
Ruud van Nistelrooy looks set to stay at Leicester after the club’s owners admitted to selling Van Nistelrooy short in the transfer window.
Even though the window is closed, the Foxes are still well involved in the rumour mill, whether that be via incomings and outgoings.
So, with that, here is all of the latest news including the Foxes in recent days.
