Leicester City's academy faces a reshuffle after Jeremy Monga's £12.5m transfer to Manchester City. The 17-year-old winger's departure leaves Louis Page as the club's brightest prospect, with the 18-year-old midfielder already a first-team regular. Leicester finished 23rd in the Championship last season with 46 points, scoring 58 goals and conceding 68.
Who is Leicester City's new top prospect?
Louis Page, the 18-year-old midfielder, has stepped into the spotlight after Monga's exit. The England U20 international won the EFL Championship Apprentice of the Season award in 2025/26. His progressive passing and defensive workrate have caught the eye of Premier League clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal.
What other talents remain at Leicester City?
Olabade Aluko, a 19-year-old defender, and Lorenz Hutchinson, an 18-year-old striker, are also highly rated. Hutchinson was named LCFC Academy Player of the Season for 2025/26. Jake Evans, a 17-year-old winger, has joined Cheltenham Town on loan, while Kevon Gray, a 19-year-old full-back, has shown promise in senior football.
What does the future hold for Leicester City's academy?
With Monga's departure, Leicester City must now focus on developing their remaining talents. Logan Briggs and Sammy Braybrooke are also key players to watch. Former goalkeeper Asmir Begovic believes Page is 'maybe the best of the lot' from the academy, but fans will hope he stays at the King Power Stadium.
