London’s Arsenal are on the verge of securing the transfer of one of England’s most promising young talents.
Details: According to Fabrizio Romano, the Gunners’ management has submitted an official bid to Leicester for the 16-year-old wide forward Jeremy Monga.
The young winger himself is extremely keen on making the move to the London club and has already given his fundamental agreement. Negotiations between the clubs are moving at lightning speed, and there is a great sense of optimism in the Arsenal camp that the deal will be closed soon.
Within Leicester’s ranks, Monga is considered an incredible talent with massive potential for the top level in the future. Mikel Arteta’s coaching staff, renowned for their successful work with youth, plan to gradually integrate the wunderkind into first-team training immediately after the contract is signed.
It’s worth noting that this season, Monga has played 30 matches for Leicester, scoring just 1 goal and providing 2 assists. Transfermarkt values the player at €15 million.
Reminder: Arsenal will have to spend big to sign PSG star Bradley Barcola.
