Manchester City have completed the signing of highly rated teenage winger Jeremy Monga from Leicester City on a five-year contract.
The Premier League champions confirmed the deal on Saturday after beating competition from several top clubs for the 17-year-old’s signature.
Although the transfer fee was not officially disclosed, reports claim the deal is worth around £10 million, including add-ons, with Monga signing a contract that runs until 2031.
Monga leaves Leicester after making 37 senior appearances and becoming the club’s youngest-ever starting player. He also made his Premier League debut at just 15 years old.
The England Under-19 international made his top-flight debut as a substitute against Newcastle in April 2025 under Ruud van Nistelrooy before earning his first senior start in the League Cup against Huddersfield later that year.
He is also the third-youngest player to feature in Premier League history, behind Ethan Nwaneri and Max Dowman.
Monga becomes Manchester City’s third English signing of the summer transfer window, joining goalkeeper Pierce Charles and club-record arrival Elliot Anderson as part of the squad rebuild.
Speaking after completing the move, Monga said he had no doubts about joining City.
“When I became aware that Manchester City were interested, I knew instantly this was the right choice for me.
“For any young footballer, to become part of this amazing club is a dream come true. This has been the best club in England over the past 10 years.
“And it has also handed opportunities to players from the academy like Phil Foden and Nico O’Reilly, which shows that the pathway is there.
“It is a privilege to be here, and I’m delighted to have joined.”
