Does anyone know where Monga was born? Is he a Leicester lad?

You’re a county fan aren’t you? Someone like Cartwright would be a good loan for you next season. Hopefully in league one but you’re so inconsistent!

I think he may be a bit young for that. If he wasn’t leaving for the northwest then he’d be better sticking here where he can live at home and we can look after his development by selecting the games he plays in.

Report: Hughes Set to Secure Another Wonderkid This Summer

 

Monga’s Meteoric Rise from Foxes to the Front Page
Liverpool’s well-documented focus on elite youth recruitment shows no sign of slowing down, as the club now sets its sights on securing the services of Leicester City’s prodigious winger, Jeremy Monga. The 15-year-old forward has become the latest in a line of highly regarded youngsters to be linked with a move to Merseyside, as sporting director Richard Hughes continues to oversee a strategic shift toward long-term squad building.

Transfer Battle Heats Up for Teen Sensation
Monga has rapidly emerged as one of the standout talents in the Premier League academy system. His recent debut against Newcastle United—at just 15 years, eight months, and two days old—made him the second-youngest player in Premier League history, surpassed only by Arsenal’s Ethan Nwaneri. That landmark moment only heightened speculation over his next career move, with sources now confirming Liverpool’s intent to beat rivals Manchester City to his signature.

According to Fichajes, Liverpool are “ready to agree a deal” with Leicester City, as Hughes looks to execute another high-ceiling signing in line with the club’s youth-first philosophy.

 

 

Hughes Building a Youthful Legacy
Jeremy Monga would be the latest jewel in a growing crown of teenage prospects signed by Liverpool in recent windows. The arrival of Rio Ngumoha from Chelsea last summer signified Hughes’ vision for long-term squad evolution. Ngumoha’s debut in a 4-0 FA Cup win over Accrington Stanley was an emphatic start, and he has been hailed as one of the most promising young players in the country.

Indeed, Anfield Watch noted that the then-16-year-old “caused shockwaves” upon his arrival. His performances have drawn parallels to previous youth signings such as Harvey Elliott, Kaide Gordon, Bobby Clark and Ben Doak—players who have gradually carved out first-team opportunities at Anfield.

Liverpool also moved for Trey Nyoni, another standout from Leicester’s development pathway, underscoring the club’s ongoing belief in identifying and nurturing domestic youth.

Transfer Competition and Future Potential
Jeremy Monga’s versatility—capable of operating as a wide forward or a central playmaker—makes him an ideal fit for Liverpool’s evolving tactical structure under Arne Slot. His productivity at youth level has been impressive: one goal and four assists in just five appearances for Leicester’s Under-18s, along with two goals and two assists in eight matches for the Under-21s.

Monga’s cameo appearance against Liverpool in their recent 1-0 defeat to the Reds further underlined his potential. Though brief, his presence in a high-stakes Premier League fixture at such a young age was a statement of intent from Leicester’s academy—and a preview of what could come at Anfield.

With Leicester City now relegated and the player’s future reportedly uncertain, Liverpool are hoping history repeats itself. Hughes’ growing reputation for acquiring youth gems could tip the balance as the Reds look to bring Monga into the fold.

It doesn’t make sense to me why he is getting minutes when he’s going off to another club.

 

Surely we’d be better off giving minutes to Evans, Page etc.

Gutting when you have a spineless first 11 and then the kids are cherrypicked as well. Then you are hindered by FFP to stop you buying talent yourselves. Its quite ridiculous really.

At least let us nurture him for a year with an immediate loan please.. isn't going to be needed there next season is he

He doesn't even have to make th3 decision yet. Can't sign a pro deal with any club until 10th July 2026. Yes, he will benefit I'm sure from the moment he opts to leave us and go to a bigger club but it won't be to the magnitude of what he's in line for the year after.

 

He could wait to see what happens over the next year knowing he will play a large chunk of games in the Championship which he won't get a sniff in the PL for a year or two and that's being generous.

I don't know what the situation with his family is like but Man City could instantly make them generationally wealthy.

You're looking at it too logically. 

 

He's a fifteen year old kid and fifteen year old kids are largely impulsive, immature and in a rush to get on with their lives. 

 

Not to mention he's going to have Man City and Liverpool scouts in his ears telling him it's now or never and they're going to change his and his family's lives. 

 

Plus, come on, at this club there's no guarantee he's going to get a season of Championship football anyway. We said the same about Braybrooke, Alves and plenty of others before them.

Tough for us to hide £5m 

 

easy for Man City or Liverpool 

How do payments like this even go on the books? Pretty sure they’re not allowed officially so what’s the work around?

And the reality is that this could be true. Could suffer a horrible injury at any point and completely scupper his career.

 

You'd like to think cooler heads would prevail and he'll be given a clear pathway and other assurances that sees him stay, but for the reasons you've listed, it's probably unlikely that it happens.

We're just desperately trying to strengthen our hand to get a few hundred thousand more at tribunal.

Start him every game. Get as much as we can for him if he's going.

 

I'd rather he stayed, of course. His rise is meteoric.

 

Considering Alves was just appearing in young baller YouTube videos and BBC segments and not getting anywhere near the first team at 15, I think it's reasonable to say that Monga would trouble the first-team squad next year and get quite a number of appearances.
