Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Jeremy Monga, with the Leicester City player giving his preference to the Gunners over his other options, according to a report.
Football insider Hand of Arsenal reports that Arsenal have now agreed full personal terms with Jeremy Monga, with the player giving full preference to the Gunners over multiple other clubs, including Manchester City and Bayer Leverkusen.
Andrea Berta reportedly met with the player’s camp and laid out a pathway similar to the one currently being embarked upon by Max Dowman. The same source adds that a loan move cannot be ruled out if and when Monga is settled at Arsenal.
The report clarifies that there’s still work to be done on the mechanism of Monga’s exit, but Arsenal will now look to close the deal after getting the player’s agreement.
Josh Holland of LeicestershireLive had confirmed this week that Arsenal talks were underway for the signing of the Leicester City youngster.
Though Holland reported that Leicester don’t need to sell, he added that there’s an incentive to do so, as Monga’s sale would be classed as pure profit.
Given Leicester’s relegation to the Championship and the associated loss of revenue, Holland wrote that it’s also the case that a big fee for any player is unlikely to be rejected.
James McNicholas also reported for The Athletic that with Monga having already agreed to sign professional terms with Leicester City this summer, the player could cost £10-15m if Arsenal want to sign him.
That would obviously be a major investment for a 16-year-old player, though Arsenal’s owners are reportedly keen on the club signing young players with room to develop.
Monga made 10 starts for Leicester in all competitions this season, scoring one goal and assisting two more. He’s also an England u19 international, making 10 appearances for the side this season and playing alongside Dowman on a couple of occasions.
