Leicester gem Jeremy Monga on Borussia Dortmund’s radar? | OneFootball

Just 16 years old – and Europe’s top clubs are lining up. Jeremy Monga from English second division side Leicester City is considered one of the hottest prospects on the transfer market. Experts predict a great future for the left winger.

Last season, Monga made his first appearance for the Foxes’ senior team. On matchday 31 of the Premier League, he made his debut against Newcastle United. At just 15 years, 8 months, and 28 days old, he became the second youngest debutant in Premier League history, behind Ethan Nwaneri of Arsenal (15 years, 5 months, and 28 days). By the end of the season, Monga had made six more appearances in England’s top flight.

After the 2016 champions’ relegation, the youngster can now only prove himself in the Championship. He has made twelve appearances so far this season, scoring one goal and providing another. There’s no doubt that Monga will soon be playing top-flight football again. Weeks ago, Tottenham Hotspur cast their line for the teenager, according to the English portal Teamtalk. Head coach Thomas Frank (52) plans to fill the wing positions with fast players. That’s why the Londoners are considering a transfer as early as next year.

Move abroad not until 2027

But the Spurs shouldn’t take too long, as other clubs have also taken notice of Monga. From the Premier League alone, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are interested in the right-footer. But the list of interested clubs doesn’t end there. Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus Turin, and Bayern Munich – as well as Borussia Dortmund – are also keeping an eye on the 16-year-old, representing the elite of European football.

However, non-English clubs face a significant disadvantage: due to his young age, Monga can only leave the island upon reaching adulthood – that is, in 2027. However, a decision is expected as early as 2026.
