England-Zambia winger Jeremy Monga of Leicester City is being closely monitored by Arsenal, with the 16-year-old left-sided forward reportedly a 76% possibility to make the step up from the Championship club to the Premier League side this summer.
Monga, born in Coventry on 10 July 2009 and standing at 1.79m, is regarded as one of Leicester’s most promising attacking prospects and is valued at €15.00m on Transfermarkt. The emerging left winger, who prefers to operate on the left but is right-footed, has been fast-tracked through the Foxes’ system and has already been handed the No 28 shirt.
While formal negotiations between the clubs have not been confirmed, the level of interest and the reported probability underline how seriously Arsenal are weighing a move for the dual-national talent, who is eligible for both England and Zambia. With no publicly listed contract expiry date at Leicester, there is also external speculation that his current terms could be approaching a decisive juncture, raising the longer-term prospect of a future free-agent scenario should no new deal be agreed.
Monga has represented Leicester City at youth and development level, featuring in recent academy fixtures as an attacking left winger in the club’s Championship-aligned pathway. In his latest outing for the club’s youth side – a 2-1 win over Championship rivals’ academy opposition earlier this month – he started on the left, completed 90 minutes and was involved in the build-up to both goals, underlining the creative threat that has attracted scouts.
Having come through Leicester’s ranks rather than previous professional clubs, the teenager’s progress has been rapid, with his versatility in the final third and dual-national profile adding to his appeal for elite recruiters.
Should a move to Arsenal materialise, it would represent a significant early crossroads in Monga’s career, offering a platform that could accelerate his development, raise his profile on both the English and Zambian football landscapes and shape his reputation as one of the most closely watched young wingers in the country.
