Overview
- Manchester City completed Monga’s summer move from Leicester, with outlets reporting the fee as either £12.5 million or £10 million.
- Monga is a highly precocious winger who made his Premier League debut at 15 and became the youngest goalscorer in the Championship and in top-flight under-21 competition.
- Monga made his first appearance for City as a substitute in a 3-1 friendly win over a K-League XI on Wednesday, having a close-range effort ruled out for handball and showing sharp dribbling and composure.
- The 17-year-old said he chose City over Arsenal because of the club’s pathway to the first team and called the decision a 'no-brainer' in interviews with BBC Sport.
- Manchester City expect to integrate Monga gradually under Enzo Maresca, using him mainly for cup games and substitute minutes while he develops within the senior squad.
