Manchester City Beat Arsenal to Signing of Monga From Leicester
The 17-year-old winger has signed a five-year contract and will join City’s first-team squad on their pre-season tour, with a loan still possible.
- On Saturday, Manchester City confirmed the signing of 17-year-old winger Jeremy Monga from Leicester City in a £10m deal, with the teenager signing a five-year contract at the Etihad Stadium.
- Manager Enzo Maresca moved late to hijack the deal after Arsenal stepped back from negotiations, with Monga opting for City despite strong interest from other leading clubs.
- Monga made 37 senior appearances for the Foxes and became the third-youngest player to appear in a Premier League match at 15, scoring once in 27 Championship appearances before Leicester's relegation to League One.
- Midfielder Monga will join the Blues on their pre-season tour of Asia later this month, with City officials confident he has the potential to develop into a first-team player.
- This transfer marks the fourth arrival of the summer as Manchester City begins a new era under Enzo Maresca, who succeeded Pep Guardiola, with City securing a sell-on clause for the England Under-19 international.
