Arsenal submit £15m bid for 16‑year‑old Leicester winger Jeremy Monga

Arsenal have made an official bid, reported to be around £15 million, to sign 16‑year‑old winger Jeremy Monga from Leicester City. The teenage winger, a right‑footed dribbler who played 37 senior matches for Leicester last season, also made 10 starts this campaign, scoring once and providing two assists, and has featured for England’s under‑19 side.

If the transfer goes through, Arsenal intend to integrate Monga into first‑team training under Mikel Arteta, although they do not expect him to feature regularly in matches immediately. The club may consider loaning him out to aid his development. Arsenal face competition for his signature from Brentford, who are also in contact with Leicester and have highlighted the prospect of guaranteed playing time.
