Leicester City has responded to Arsenal's official bid for English sensation Jeremy Monga, according to Gary Jacobs of The Times. The Foxes have rejected Arsenal's £5 million bid, seeking a larger package for the 16-year-old winger.

What happened?

Leicester City valued Monga at around £15 million initially, but later lowered their demands to a figure closer to £10 million plus a sell-on clause. Arsenal's proposal included a lower percentage of future sale profits than Leicester were hoping to secure.

Why it matters for Leicester City

The Foxes are expected to listen to offers for several players following a difficult period both on and off the pitch. As of 28 Jun 2026, Leicester City stands 23rd in the Championship, with 46 points from 46 games, and a recent form of WDDLL.

What comes next?

Negotiations are continuing between the two clubs over the 'excellent' Englishman, with Arsenal favoring a swift agreement rather than allowing the process to drag towards a tribunal. | Category | Value | | --- | --- | | League Standing | 23rd | | Points | 46 | | Recent Form | WDDLL | | Goals Scored | 58 | | Goals Conceded | 68 | | Goal Difference | -10 | | Title Race | 49 points behind leaders Coventry | And with the transfer window open, Leicester City will be looking to make some key signings to strengthen their squad.
