As announced for several days now, Manchester City has completed the arrival of young 17-year-old winger Jeremy Monga from Leicester City. Once a priority for the player, Arsenal was ultimately unable to meet Leicester’s demands in this matter and it was therefore City who won the bet for an amount of around 12 million euros.

“Manchester City are delighted to announce the signing of promising young winger Jeremy Monga from Leicester City. The England Under-21 international, who celebrated his 17th birthday yesterday, has joined the club on a five-year deal which runs until the summer of 2031. Monga began honing his craft at Leicester City’s academy, starting at the Under-9 level. His speed, dribbling, power and eye for goal were key assets for Monga at all age categories before he progressed quickly to Leicester’s under-21 team at just 15 years old.explains the club press release.
