Man Utd leading Arsenal in the race for League One teenager

Jeremy Monga is not the only Leicester City teenager Arsenal have been looking to add to their squad during this transfer window, with the Gunners now turning their attention towards his teammate, Louis Page.

Arsenal were keen to sign Monga and came close to completing a deal before Manchester City entered the race and overtook them to secure his signature. The Gunners remain one of the clubs monitoring the young players on Leicester City’s books, and another of their talents has now attracted their attention.

The Foxes have continued to develop promising players, with Page becoming a regular for the Leicester City first team after being promoted last year. The 18-year-old attacker is expected to continue developing and improving as he gains more experience.

Arsenal watch Leicester talent

According to the BBC, Arsenal are one of the teams interested in Page as they continue to monitor the teenager. His emergence at Leicester has attracted attention from clubs looking to add young talent to their squads, with the Gunners among those keeping an eye on his situation.

Leicester have established themselves as one of the clubs capable of producing talented players, and they are now making sales from their academy. However, Arsenal may not benefit from the latest opportunity despite their interest in Page.

The Gunners had hoped to secure Monga before City moved ahead of them, and they now face another Manchester club in the race for Page.

Manchester United lead race

Reports suggest Leicester are also set to lose Page to a club in Manchester, with Manchester United leading Arsenal in the race for his signature. The Red Devils have reportedly stepped up their interest in signing the teenager this summer.

Page’s development at Leicester has made him an attractive target, particularly after becoming a regular first-team player at just 18. Arsenal remain interested, but United appear to have strengthened their position in the battle for the attacker.

The Gunners could therefore suffer another disappointment in their attempts to recruit from Leicester’s emerging talent. After missing out on Monga to Manchester City, Arsenal now face the prospect of losing Page to Manchester United, despite their interest in the young attacker.
