LEICESTER — Nine Premier League clubs have been linked with a move for Leicester City winger Jeremy Monga, the 16-year-old who became the second-youngest player in Premier League history when he made his debut. Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City are among the clubs interested in signing Monga, and all three are reportedly ready to make formal offers for the teenager.

Monga made his Premier League debut at 15 years and 271 days old, placing him second on the league's all-time list of youngest players to appear in a top-flight match. The winger, now 16, has remained part of Leicester's squad since that appearance, having broken into the first team before his 16th birthday.

In addition to United, Arsenal and Manchester City, six other Premier League sides are monitoring Monga's situation. Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford are all tracking the young winger's development at Leicester City.

With three clubs prepared to submit formal offers and six others monitoring his progress, Monga is the subject of interest from nine of the Premier League's top-flight clubs. Leicester have not publicly commented on the reported interest in the player.
