Jeremy Monga, a 16-year-old English and Zambian winger from Leicester's academy, is attracting interest from German club Bayer Leverkusen, league rivals Leipzig, and Italian side Roma. The player, who has been capped 10 times for the England U19 team, is sought by up to ten top clubs in the Premier League and beyond, with interested clubs believing he can be signed for a low fee following his club's relegation to the third tier.

Manchester United are understood to have held formal talks with Leicester about the teenager, who played 37 Championship games this season, while Arsenal, Newcastle, and Leeds are also admirers. His current market value is €10.00m, according to Transfermarkt. In May 2026, reports suggested Manchester United were in talks for a transfer fee of approximately €7,000,000. Leicester's previous asking price was reportedly £25 million.
