While the present day at Leicester City is depressing as the Foxes face relegation to the Championship, the future is most certainly bright.
On Monday night, Leicester lost 3-0 to Newcastle United however, Jeremy Monga made his Premier League debut, coming off the bench for the final 14 minutes.
The 15-year-old has rapidly risen through the ranks at Seagrave and attracted interest from clubs such as Real Madrid, PSG and Manchester United.
However, Manchester City have agreed personal terms with Monga, though the Foxes are hopeful they can convince him to stay.
Widely regarded as one of the best teenagers in the country, the exciting Leicester winger continues to showcase his talent, as seen during one training session this week.

Jeremy Monga and Jake Evans embarrassed Leicester first-team stars in training
With seven matches of the campaign remaining and nothing to play for, Monga will be pushing to make his first senior start for the club.
Remarkably, the Englishman isn’t the only player with a bright future at the King Power Stadium, as striker Jake Evans continues to make waves through the academy.
Evans is the second top scorer in Premier League 2 with 10 goals, despite being aged just 17, and the clinical striker will hope to translate that form into the first-team once given an opportunity.
Ahead of Leicester’s visit to Brighton this weekend, some ‘remarkable’ footage emerged of Monga and Evans embarrassing some of their experienced teammates in training.
In one clip, Monga held off 6 ft 6 centre-back Jannik Vestergaard with his strength while the Denmark international struggled to get near his quick feet.
There was also footage of Evans slotting a strike superbly into the top corner, with both players showing they can not only match players older than them but exceed expectations.
Ruud van Nistelrooy will give further chances to youth
Leicester fans will be crying out for Monga to start against Brighton on Sunday, and the teenager is certainly deserving of the opportunity.
City already risk losing their brightest star to a bigger club and they could perhaps only persuade him to stay by playing him regularly.

Luckily, Ruud van Nistelrooy accepts that Monga is ready for the step up, as seen as against Newcastle, and the Dutchman is also committed to giving other youngsters a chance.
For someone like Evans, who is knocking on the first-team door, the above stance shared by Van Nistelrooy will be music to his ears and hopefully, the 17-year-old is given some minutes before the season ends.
