Overview
- Manchester City completed the transfer of 17-year-old winger Jeremy Monga from Leicester City in the summer 2026 window.
- Reports differ on the fee, with one outlet citing about £12.5 million and another reporting roughly £10 million, which may reflect undisclosed add-ons or reporting variance.
- Arsenal had been close to signing Monga before Manchester City moved to secure the player, and Monga has said he sees his future at City.
- Monga made a first-team appearance during City’s pre-season friendly in Seoul, coming off the bench, forcing a goalkeeper save and having a close-range effort ruled out for handball.
- Raised in Coventry playing small-sided 'cage football', Monga credits that background for his close control and dribbling and is expected to be used initially as a substitute with opportunities in cup games and as he develops.
