Jeremy Monga set to join Manchester City after Arsenal pull out
Summary

Leicester City forward Jeremy Monga will join Manchester City after Arsenal withdrew from negotiations. The 16-year-old talent had agreed to personal terms with Arsenal, but the club did not meet Leicester's £10 million valuation. Arsenal's bid of £5 million, including a sell-on fee, was rejected, prompting them to walk away. Monga had expressed interest in joining Arsenal, but City’s new manager Enzo Maresca successfully swayed him to move to the Etihad Stadium.
