What happened: Manchester City have agreed to sign Jeremy Monga from Leicester City for £10 million plus £2.5 million in potential add-ons and a future-sale percentage. The 16-year-old winger attracted interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Real Madrid.

Why it matters: The agreement adds a highly rated youth international to Enzo Maresca's long-term Manchester City project. Arsenal withdrew after deciding the required fee was too high.

By the numbers: Monga made 30 appearances during Leicester City's 2025-26 Championship campaign. The package could reach £12.5 million, excluding the future-sale percentage.

What to watch: The transfer must now be completed through the remaining contractual and registration steps. His immediate development pathway at Manchester City will be the next focus.
