Manchester City have struck a major blow against their title rivals Arsenal before the new Premier League season even begins. The club has reportedly agreed a £12.5 million deal to sign Leicester City's highly coveted 16-year-old winger Jeremy Monga.
The Athletic reports that City will pay £10 million upfront, with an additional £2.5 million in potential contingencies. Arsenal were heavily linked to the England youth international but pulled out of negotiations over the required transfer fee.
Real Madrid and Chelsea also showed interest in the Coventry-born talent, who made 30 appearances during Leicester's recent Championship campaign. The push for the signing was driven by City's new boss, Enzo Maresca, who connected with the winger during his spell managing Leicester in the 2023 season.
With this agreement, Maresca secures a key piece for the future while directly denting the summer transfer plans of their London rivals.
