On this occasion (Sunday, December 28), as we await the New Year in the awkward period between Christmas and January, I am talking transfers again. Unfortunately this time we are not examining available players to Leicester City Football Club, nor analysing supposed links to King Power Stadium. No. A significant, potential outgoing is the topic of today's article.
Sadly I have to talk about the situation developing on Filbert Way and at Seagrave which may result in us losing the most impressive youth product ever to come out of one of the Foxes' training grounds. Yep, the Jeremy Monga rumours will not cease; we are said to be learning more and more of the so-called situation on a daily basis.
Monga is a coveted young baller; why wouldn't he be?! The mesmerising winger (on his day) made his Premier League debut at the tender age of 15. The second youngest of all time only to Ethan Nwaneri at Arsenal; achieved only a short while prior. The Fox did subsequently, however, become the most youthful goalscorer in the English Football League Championship's history the following season.
The world's most famous and influential sides are apparently chasing Monga's first senior contract. And if he isn't required to automatically sign with City at age 17 (this coming summer), then there will be a shark-like feeding frenzy in LE2. Only the biggest will win this one: Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City or even Chelsea could pounce.
Ex-Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca pushing to upset the Foxes apple cart by arranging upsetting transfer
Maresca already broke LCFC hearts (though we saw it coming) when he abruptly left us and subsequently signed one of our best players. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was a real loss!
The Italian could now return for another major recruit. Maresca is supposedly 'crazy' about luring Monga, as well as 'leading the race':
"Jeremy Monga (Leicester City): Chelsea are reportedly leading the race to sign the 16-year-old winger who recently became the youngest goalscorer in Championship history. The club views him as a generational talent, though Leicester are resistant to a January sale before he turns 17."football.london
