Man City weigh move for Leicester’s Anglo-Zambian winger Jeremy Monga

England and Zambia youth prospect Jeremy Monga, the 16-year-old left winger currently at Leicester City, is being linked with a move to Manchester City from the League One side.

The highly rated teenager, born in Coventry on 10 July 2009, has emerged as one of Leicester’s most talked-about academy products, with his potential switch to the Premier League champions reported on 2 July 2026. Transfermarkt lists Monga’s market value at £15.00m, underlining the scale of the step being discussed for a player who only recently broke into senior reckoning at the King Power Stadium.

Monga, who stands at 1.79m and prefers to operate as an attacking left winger cutting in on his right foot, holds dual nationality with England and Zambia. He is registered with Leicester’s first team wearing the No 28 shirt, although his contract details and expiry date are not publicly confirmed. With no formal contract expiry information available, observers have noted that any delay over fresh terms could, in time, raise the prospect of him running down his deal and becoming a free agent, though there is currently no indication that this is imminent.

The rumour, carrying a reported probability of “?” on transfer databases, remains at an early stage, with no agreement between the clubs. Leicester, now competing in League One, face a significant decision over whether to cash in on one of their most valuable young assets or attempt to build their attack around him.

Recent youth and senior match data for Monga has not been made public in detail, and there is no verified record of his individual performance, opponent, or scoreline from his most recent outing, meaning any assessment of his latest display remains speculative.

If a move to Manchester City does materialise, it would represent a transformative step, potentially accelerating Monga’s development, raising his profile on both the English and Zambian football landscapes and shaping a career that is only just beginning.
