According to the reliable Rob Tanner of The Athletic (New York Times), City fans will have more good offseason news to celebrate. After loyally suffering through an atrocious Foxes campaign, the Blue Army fan base deserve another positive update. In addition to Jeremy Monga signing a new deal, further exciting contract news is expected for Leicester City. A young and promising forward is close to an agreement. Let's learn what Tanner had to say and what could be in store for the East Midlanders in the long-term.
Further exciting contract news for Leicester City
Along with John Percy at The Telegraph and Rob Dorsett of Sky Sports, The Athletic's Rob Tanner is an elite Leicester source if you ask me. I've covered the Foxes here for around seven years and the trio are seldom wrong about LCFC. They are also never purveyors of nonsense hearsay.
Therefore, we can trust Tanner as I see it. That being said, he's spoken on Jeremy Monga and another tremendous King Power prospect. It has now been confirmed that Monga was indeed being tracked by some enormous clubs.
Scouts from Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea have been attending Monga's games for almost two years. Though City managed to have the 15-year-old pen a new protective deal last week.
LCFC will now be able to command a massive fee for their asset. That's if he does eventually leave in a year from now. But there's more.
Up-and-coming attacker nears fresh Foxes agreement - top source
Next up from the NxGn is apparently Jake Evans. Evans featured as a substitute for the senior City side alongside Monga. On June 12, Tanner revealed that the former is close to an agreement.
Securing the 16-year-old is important too. The Foxes hierarchy clearly don't want a repeat of the Trey Nyoni to Liverpool scenario.
