In a recent post on X, journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that Manchester City are about to sign Leicester City winger Jeremy Monga. The Manchester club are believed to have reached a £10million deal to recruit the English youngster this summer.
Monga caught the eye on a few occasions with his performances on the left side of Leicester's attack last season. The 16-year-old scored one goal and made two assists in 30 appearances for the Foxes last season across various competitions. The English talent is currently one of the most promising players on the wings in the EFL Championship.
It is therefore no surprise that Manchester City are considering a move to bring Monga to the Etihad Stadium this transfer window. However, Monga is still quite inexperienced at the highest level and would need time to prove his worth at the Manchester club, if they manage to sign him this season.
Monga has the speed necessary to cause difficulties for his markers on the wings. He can shoot well from long distance and create some opportunities for his colleagues in the final third. Monga is primarily a left-sided wing player, but can also play the role of right winger if requested by his coach.
However, there are some doubts about his ability to adapt to the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League. Despite this, it is undeniable that Manchester City would do well to sign him this season. We can expect Monga to improve the quality of Enzo Maresca's front line in the long term. He has what it takes to fight for a place in the club's squad next year.
At just 16 years old, Monga has the potential to become a star in English football, as long as he continues to improve each year. However, he is still a developing player and would need time to prove his worth in the Premier League. Taking all of this into consideration, Monga is definitely a promise for the future, which is why Manchester City should make an effort to sign him this summer.
