Arsenal beat rivals to secure 16-year-old wonderkid

Mikel Arteta and newly-appointed sporting director Andrea Berta are already mapping out the future for the Premier League champions.

Arsenal have entered advanced talks to sign Leicester City’s highly-coveted teenage winger Jeremy Monga.

Following Leicester’s shock relegation to League One, a massive auction emerged for the 16-year-old sensation.

Arsenal have successfully fended off competitive inquiries from Manchester United, Manchester City, and several top European giants.

The deal is expected to cost in excess of £10m, potentially setting a record for an English third-division departure.

Monga would join a highly-touted youth contingent in North London alongside fellow record-setting teenagers Max Dowman and Ethan Nwaneri.
