Arsenal are being linked with a summer move for Leicester’s England-Zambia left winger Jeremy Monga, 16, as the highly rated teenager continues to attract attention after his breakthrough with the Championship club.
Reports on Saturday list the probability of a switch to the Premier League side at 74%, with Monga – born in Coventry and standing at 1.79m – emerging as one of Leicester’s most talked‑about attacking prospects. His current market value is put at €15.00m, a notable figure for a player still in his first years of senior football.
The winger, who wears number 28 for Leicester and prefers to operate off the left while cutting in on his right foot, has been developing within the club’s system and is now regarded as one of the brightest young wide players outside the top flight. He is listed with dual nationality, eligible for both England and Zambia.
Leicester are yet to confirm the length or terms of Monga’s deal and publicly available data shows no recorded contract start date or expiry, fuelling speculation that his current agreement could be approaching its end. Any uncertainty over his contract status is likely to encourage suitors, with the prospect of a future free-agent scenario adding intrigue to Arsenal’s interest.
Monga has been involved in Leicester’s recent campaign in the Championship, featuring as an attack-minded option on the left flank. In a recent outing for the Foxes – a league fixture this spring in which Leicester faced second-tier opposition and came through with a narrow win – Monga featured on the wing, offering direct running and width even though he did not get on the scoresheet.
With Arsenal continuing to target emerging talent to supplement their first-team squad and Leicester balancing sporting ambition with financial realities, Monga’s next step could prove decisive in shaping his career trajectory and determining whether he becomes the latest teenager to make an early leap into the Premier League spotlight.
