Jeremy Monga has been linked with a move from Leicester City in the summer transfer window.
The Foxes have been relegated to the third tier of English football, but the 16-year-old attacker could be aiming for promotion. He will want to compete at a high level and Arsenal are prepared to offer him a way out.
He is currently one of the best young talents in English football and Arsenal believe he can be a star in the future. According to Fabrizio Romano, they are in advanced negotiations with the 16-year-old attacker and are ahead of the competition. They believe he can be a special player for the future.
Fabrizio Romano said on YouTube: “Arsenal are in advanced contract negotiations with Jeremy Monga. Arsenal are ahead of other top English clubs who are interested in this young boy. Negotiations are continuing between all parties involved.”
“On the player side, on the club side, Leicester, Arsenal. So let’s wait for the next step. But Arsenal have confidence, real confidence, to sign Jeremy Monga. It’s clearly for the future.”
“He’s a 16-year-old kid. But at Arsenal we believe this is a special talent and that’s why Arsenal are trying to get ahead of other clubs. Discussions are ongoing. Let’s wait and see when and how the final steps will be taken. But Arsenal are confident in signing Jeremy.”
The opportunity to join the Premier League champions will be an exciting one for the young attacker. Arsenal have been successful in developing young players in the past and could help them realize his potential. Regular Premier League football could bring out the best in him and accelerate his development.
