Manchester City have entered the race to sign Leicester City‘s teenage attacker Jeremy Monga.
Monga, 16, is attracting major interest from a number of Premier League clubs this summer, including from Arsenal and Brentford.
The Gunners are the most advanced in their interest, but City – who are long-term admirers of Monga – are understood to have made enquiries towards a potential move in recent days.
Monga – who turns 17 this month – agreed to a one-year scholarship contract which is set to turn into a professional contract 10 July.
That means interested parties will be required to pay a transfer fee for the teenager, wiith reports indicating Leicester want a minimum of £10m.
Monga, who has made 37 appearances for the Foxes, is the third-youngest player to feature in a Premier League match, behind Arsenal duo Max Dowman and Ethan Nwaneri.
