For a long time, Arsenal seemed to be the favorite to bring in Jérémy Monga, but everything indicates that the Londoners lost the fight for one of the greatest talents from the Championship. Manchester City entered the game and quickly took over the initiative. The teenager’s transfer is about to be finalized.
In recent months, Monga has gained a lot of interest from the biggest clubs in England. The Leicester City winger became the youngest goalscorer in the history of the Championship, and his performances quickly led to him being talked about as a player with huge potential.
Arsenal has been in talks with the player’s entourage for several weeks. The negotiations were said to be promising, and the Emirates Stadium was confident that the matter would be concluded. The problem is that the Gunners did not complete the transaction at the right time.
Will Manchester City overtake Arsenal?
Manchester City took advantage of Arsenal’s slowness. The Etihad Stadium club joined the talks late, but acted decisively and quickly reached an agreement with both the player and Leicester.
According to the latest information, Monga’s transfer will cost around 10 million pounds, or less than 12 million euros. For Leicester, it would be a significant amount for a young player who is just starting his senior career.
City wants to close the case as soon as possible. Everything indicates that unless a sudden turnaround occurs, the teenager will continue his development in the blue part of Manchester.
Enzo Maresca helped with the transfer
Enzo Maresca was to play an important role in the entire operation. The Manchester City coach knows Monga from his time at Leicester and knows well what potential the winger has.
It was the coach’s personal involvement that helped convince the player to choose City. For a young player, such a recommendation could be of great importance, especially in the face of competition from Arsenal.
Monga is on the radar of a club that has been able to invest in young talents for years and develop them in an environment full of the highest expectations.
Arsenal may regret the delay
This could be a painful defeat for Arsenal on the transfer market. The Londoners were close, held talks and for some time looked like the leader of the race.
However, the lack of a final decision opened the door to the rival. Manchester City took advantage of the opportunity and will most likely steal from the Gunners a player they have been following for a long time.
If the transfer is confirmed, Monga will face a huge opportunity. Moving to Manchester City at such an early stage of his career will be a great challenge for him, but also proof that England sees him as a player with exceptional potential.
