Leicester City is anticipating additional positive contract news following Jeremy Monga’s recently confirmed new deal.
According to Rob Tanner of The Athletic (New York Times), a young and promising forward is close to reaching an agreement with the club.
Rob Tanner, alongside John Percy of The Telegraph and Rob Dorsett of Sky Sports, is considered a highly reliable source for Leicester City news. His reporting is generally regarded as accurate and free from speculation.
Tanner’s report confirms that Jeremy Monga, a 15-year-old prospect, had been monitored by scouts from prominent clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Chelsea for nearly two years. Despite this significant interest, Leicester City successfully secured Monga with a new “protective” deal last week. This agreement positions the club to command a substantial transfer fee should he eventually depart.
Further good news regarding the club’s developing talents appears to be on the horizon. Jake Evans, a 16-year-old attacker who featured as a substitute alongside Monga for the senior City side, is reportedly close to finalizing a new agreement. Tanner revealed this development on June 12. Securing Evans is considered important for Leicester City, as the club aims to avoid a repeat of scenarios where promising young talents, like Trey Nyoni, have moved to other clubs such as Liverpool.
