Arsenal Lead Race to Sign Leicester Teen Jeremy Monga

Securing Monga would capitalize on his July eligibility to sign a professional contract.

Overview

Reports published on May 28–29 say Arsenal are confident they currently lead a multi-club competition to sign 16‑year‑old winger Jeremy Monga.
Multiple Premier League clubs including Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle are reported to have shown interest in Monga.
Chelsea and Tottenham are said to have submitted formal offers and Arsenal have been pushing aggressively behind the scenes, according to the coverage.
Monga has made around 30 first‑team appearances for Leicester this season with three goal contributions and cannot sign a professional contract until he turns 17 in July.
Leicester’s relegation to League One and the player’s youth status make a summer exit more likely, but all reports so far are media accounts sourced largely to TEAMtalk and no club has publicly confirmed a deal.
