Chelsea are showing interest in one of English football's brightest young prospects – Leicester winger Jeremy Monga.
Details: According to TeamTalk, the London club is considering a move for the 16-year-old winger as early as the January transfer window. Monga has caught the eyes of the Blues' scouts thanks to his rapid progress at senior level.
Jeremy made history by debuting in the Premier League for Leicester at just 15 years old. After the Foxes' relegation to the Championship, the young star has become a regular starter and firmly established himself in the squad.
This season, Monga has played 14 matches and already netted his first professional goal. The midfielder is also a regular for England's youth teams and is widely regarded as one of the most promising talents of his generation.
Transfermarkt values the English prodigy at €10 million.
Reminder: Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca announced that Jorrel Hato is injured, while Jamie Gittens is ready for the match against Aston Villa.
