Arsenal have stepped up their pursuit of Leicester City teenage sensation Jeremy Monga after submitting an official bid for the highly rated winger.
The 16-year-old is understood to be keen on a move to the Emirates Stadium, with negotiations between the two clubs progressing rapidly. Arsenal view Monga as one of the brightest young talents in English football and are eager to secure his signature amid growing interest from several clubs.
Monga enjoyed a breakthrough campaign with Leicester City, making history as one of the youngest players to feature in the Premier League before becoming the youngest goalscorer in Championship history. His performances have earned widespread praise for his pace, technical ability and maturity despite his young age.
The teenager made more than 25 appearances for Leicester's first team during the 2025-26 season, attracting attention from top clubs across England and Europe. Arsenal's recruitment team has closely monitored his development and believes he has the potential to become a future star.
Should the transfer be completed, Monga is expected to continue his development within Arsenal's academy and youth structures while gradually being integrated into Mikel Arteta's senior squad. The move would further strengthen Arsenal's strategy of investing in elite young talent for the future.
With the player reportedly eager to make the switch and talks advancing quickly, Arsenal are increasingly confident of reaching an agreement with Leicester City in the coming weeks.
