Liverpool enter talks with record-breaking star | OneFootball

In light of this news, it's interesting that according to TEAMtalk Liverpool are one of the clubs in talks with Jeremy Monga in order to sign the 16-year-old Leicester City winger.

The report claims that the Reds alongside Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United and City as well as Newcastle United have 'all laid out their plans' for the youngster.

Monga is a generational talent. He was just the third youngest ever player to appear in the Premier League at 15 years and eight months old last season.

He's also Leicester's youngest starter in the EFL Cup and the youngest to score in the Championship. There will probably be more records he breaks along the way.

It's incredible to think that he has already played 21 games for Leicester and he won't be turning 17-years-old until next summer towards the middle of July.

A left-winger who is full of tricks and is extremely technical, Monga seems like an ideal profile. He's very much in line with Liverpool's policy when it comes to recruitment.

Over the last decade, the club has shifted towards trying to sign British young talent from across the United Kingdom at an early age.

Through this policy we've seen the likes of Harvey Elliott, Ben Doak, Kaide Gordon, Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha arrive at Anfield.

The race is clearly quite intense when it comes to Monga, so the decision is in the youngster's hands. But Liverpool have shown that there is a pathway for young players to come through and make a name for themselves.

The question Monga will be needing to ask himself is the guarantee of first-team football and out of the clubs pursuing him few can offer a better development path than the Reds.
