According to TBR Football, Man City is leading the race to sign young star Jeremy Monga from Leicester City.

Manchester City have emerged as the frontrunners in the race to sign Leicester City’s 16-year-old winger Jeremy Monga. According to TBR Football, the Citizens are keeping a close eye on the player and have a clear advantage amid interest from other Premier League giants such as Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United and Newcastle . Jeremy Monga was given the opportunity to play in the Championship this season. After signing a scholarship contract with Leicester in the summer, the English player quickly made his mark with 1 goal and 1 assist, showing great maturity when playing top football at a very young age. As he is not old enough to sign a professional contract, Leicester have no power to stop Monga if he chooses to leave in the next transfer window.

If the deal goes through, it would be a rare move under Pep Guardiola. Since arriving at the Etihad, the Spaniard has signed 70 players, but only two have played in the Championship: Nathan Ake (from Bournemouth after relegation) and goalkeeper Scott Carson, who has mostly been a reserve. With Monga making seven Premier League appearances last season, this is not a risky move in terms of experience. Instead,

Man City see this as a strategic move to add depth and address long-term issues in attack. In addition, Man City is active in the transfer market. The Manchester team is one of the clubs pursuing center-back Dayot Upamecano – whose contract with Bayern Munich is about to expire, along with Liverpool and Chelsea. In addition, Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa) is also in the target for the defense.
