**Leicester City have been handed some great news before the season has even started after Jeremy Monga signed a new deal.**
[Monga’s new deal has delighted Leicester fans](https://eflanalysis.com/news/leicester-city-fans-react-to-first-positive-news-weve-had-for-a-while-as-foxes-confirm-new-contract/) after he agreed terms on a deal that will see him officially sign a professional contract on his 17th birthday in 2026.
The 15-year-old is one of the most talented players in his age group and has been tipped for big things after he became the second-youngest Premier League debutant of all time.

Even though Leicester may be the best place for Monga’s development right now, the prospect of joining one of the biggest clubs in the world would be a tough one to turn down at any stage.
According to EFL Analysis’ Chief Football Correspondent Graeme Bailey, Monga snubbed moves to Chelsea, Manchester City, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
There was also interest from Liverpool and Manchester United but Bailey has warned Foxes fans that the interest won’t go away.
He said: “I am told that Monga feels his current situation is best served at Leicester, and the club are really happy – delighted to persuade him to sign but this is just the start – just because this is agreed, it is not over.
“But Leicester’s big job starts now, persuading him that his future is best served at Leicester in the short to medium term.”
It says all you need to know about Leicester’s season that promoting a 15-year-old was the highlight.
Even before the youngster made his debut there were calls from Leicester supporters to give the winger a run out in the side.
Speaking to Viaplay, Ruud van Nistelrooy explained that he had to be patient and utilise Monga when the time was right.
He said: “He’s still 15.
“You also have to be careful not to want too much too soon with those guys. At some point after relegation, you’re going to change course which makes more sense towards a future.
“And before it is a fact, then you do that more with the selection that I got when I came in December. And you finish that with that. After that you can move on to something else.”
