There’s one man making all the headlines at Leicester City, and it’s not Jamie Vardy.
Jeremy Monga is one of, if not, the most exciting talents to come through the Leicester academy in years.
The 15-year-old has been training with the first team ever since Ruud van Nistelrooy’s appointment and Monga was even named as a sub against Manchester United in the FA Cup.
Monga has caught the eye of several Premier League clubs after his impressive displays with the Under-21s and has even captained England’s Under-16s side in the recent internationals.
Whilst the winger may not be risked in the Foxes’ relegation battle, there is one club circling around that could leave the youngster with a huge decision to make.
Manchester City transfer news: Leicester youngster Jeremy Monga on champions’ radar
When you’re making headlines at such a young age, it’s no surprise to hear that some of the best clubs in the world are looking at signing Monga.
According to The Sun, Manchester City are the side pondering a move for the Leicester youth star in the summer.
Due to his age, any deal will have to see the two clubs go through a tribunal to settle a compensation package.

Jeremy Monga should stay at Leicester
A football analyst has predicted every big club will want Monga this summer and the Foxes will be hoping they can convince the England youth international his future belongs in the East Midlands.
Over the years, Leicester have lost several big names. Recently, Trey Nyoni made his Champions League debut for Liverpool.
The Reds poached Nyoni from Leicester back in August 2023 and despite some sporadic appearances here and there, is yet to break into the first team.
Then there’s the examples at Chelsea: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Ben Chilwell.
Dewsbury-Hall has only started one Premier League game all season and Chilwell has been sent out on loan after being deemed surplus to requirements.
Harvey Barnes has also struggled at Newcastle United. Of course, there’s been other successes, but the grass isn’t always greener.
Monga will know that if relegated, there is a strong chance of him getting into the senior squad which will only aid his development as opposed to being a smaller fish in a big pond at Man City.
