Liverpool 'ready' to sign 16-year-old wonderkid ahead of Premier League rivals | OneFootball

One of Liverpool's main goals in the transfer market has been to plan ahead for the future.

Although some of the Reds' signings such as Wataru Endo and Federico Chiesa have been a bit on the older side, most of the Reds' recruitment comes with them having half an eye on their future.

Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah are both exiting Anfield this summer which means that a massive chunk of the experience within their team will be taken away.

With this in mind, you'd think that Arne Slot and Richard Hughes would be trying to recruit some experienced talent but, that's clearly not the case.

Liverpool will fight Premier League rivals for transfer of Jeremy Monga

Although no first-team players were brought in during the January transfer window, Liverpool brought in a fair few youngsters to bolster their youth ranks.

Mor Talla Ndiaye and Noah Adekoya are just two examples of this with both centre-backs being added to the Reds' ranks.

Liverpool's academy is one of the best in England with the Anfield outfit being well-known for promoting their youngsters into their first-team squad.

Curtis Jones and Conor Bradley are two living examples of this which is why it hardly comes as a surprise to see the club now being linked with a 16-year-old winger.

As per a report from Football Insider, Liverpool are one of many Premier League clubs who are interested in acquiring the services of Jeremy Monga.

The 16-year-old has been a regular feature for Leicester this season and, due to this, Liverpool are now 'ready' to join the transfer chase for the youngster.

Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle are all also interested in signing the youngster this summer.

Leicester are 'reluctant' to lose the youngster but they do know that it would be 'very difficult' for them to keep him around if they were relegated to League One.

Although Monga wouldn't have an instant impact on the Reds' starting XI, he could eventually become a starting attacker, especially with all the changes that have occurred.
