Here is the latest update from the ongoing FIFA World Cup as of 2026-07-11 12:38:00.
Manchester City has secured the signing of winger Jeremy Monga from Leicester City, marking a significant addition to their squad. The 16-year-old made his mark last season, appearing in 27 matches for Leicester in the Championship, netting one goal and providing two assists.
After facing relegation to League One, Leicester is compelled to offload players to adhere to financial regulations set by the English Football League. Monga had previously been heavily linked to Arsenal, who made an initial bid that was declined, according to sources from ESPN in June.
Manchester City’s Ambitious Summer Signings
Monga will join Manchester City as their fourth signing this summer, following the arrivals of French forward Mathys Detourbet, goalkeeper Pierce Charles from Sheffield Wednesday, and England midfielder Elliot Anderson, who achieved a record transfer fee of £116 million ($154 million). All these signings come under the leadership of new manager Enzo Maresca, who took over from Pep Guardiola this season.
Monga’s Excitement for the Future
Expressing his excitement, Monga stated on City’s official website, “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.” His move to City is seen as a promising step in his burgeoning career, as he prepares for a future that could potentially include participation in events like the FIFA World Cup 2026.
