Manchester City have entered the race to sign Leicester City's teenage attacker Jeremy Monga.

Monga, 16, is attracting major interest from a number of Premier League clubs this summer, including from Arsenal and Brentford.

Monga - who turns 17 this month - agreed to a one-year scholarship contract which is set to turn into a professional contract 10 July.

That means interested parties will be required to pay a transfer fee for the teenager, wiith reports indicating Leicester want a minimum of £10m.
