Arsenal Football Club is reportedly showing strong interest in signing 16-year-old Jeremy Monga from Leicester City, despite the player having already agreed to a professional contract that will take effect when he turns 17 in July. According to reports from The Telegraph, Arsenal has been long-term admirers of Monga, who has made nine starts this season, scoring one goal and assisting two. Leicester City is currently struggling in the Championship, sitting five points adrift of safety with only four matches remaining. The club is keen on rebuilding around its talented youth, with Monga being a key figure. However, if Leicester is relegated to League One, Monga's desire to join a Premier League club is likely to intensify. Arsenal may choose to wait until the end of the season to assess Leicester's situation before making a formal offer, as a bid during their relegation battle could be poorly received.
