Exciting 15 y.o. Leicester prospect to break PL record if given debut | OneFootball

A precocious Leicester City 15 year-old will break a Premier League record if Ruud van Nistelrooy chooses to hand him his debut. And that scenario could potentially be on the cards considering the Dutchman's modus operandi. Experts and journalists have given notice to fans on this emerging Foxes starlet. This one could go down in history!

If the highly rated teenager in question actually features for the King Power club in the next short while - he'll be the most famous youngster in the English top flight. Arsenal's up-and-comer Ethan Nwaneri will no longer hold that prestigious accolade. So, who is this young City candidate who is advanced beyond his years? And will van Nistelrooy put his LCFC faith and trust in him? Let's get to it!

Ethan Nwaneri's rise repeated or bettered?

Nwaneri's first Premier League game came as a surprise to football supporters around the world. But Arsenal's Mikel Arteta and the more in the know fan base members were expectant of the teen. The premature-seeming outing was versus Brentford back in 2022.

At the time Nwaneri, who was aged just 15, received two ultra-impressive titles then and there. He remains the youngest ever Gunner. Not to mention being the youngest player to compete in the apex of England's footballing pyramid. An exceptional achievement.

But let's hear about the lad who might perhaps shatter the Nwaneri honour. And the young Fox may do so by just less than one month! By my calculations, there is a 26-day gap between the two. The Enfield-born man's exact age vs the Bees was 15 years and 181 days. Whereas at the time of writing, Jeremy Monga is 15 and 155 days old.

Who is prodigious Leicester City talent Jeremy Monga?

The plugged-in among the Blue Army have heard rumblings and rumours about Monga for a little while now. Not that long, but enough time for word to spread. Leicester may have someone with extraordinary ability on their hands; an athlete who has no ceiling.

Monga has been described by an LCFC-specialist writer as "the most exciting young player in City's academy". Wow. What a write up. The former is currently learning his trade as a left winger in the east Midlands; he is English.

Though how likely is Monga to be involved in the EPL, even if only for a minute or two like the youthful AFC baller? Well, Ex-Leicester manager Steve Cooper had the player training with the senior roster.

The 15-year-old was invited along for the Carabao Cup tie vs Manchester United too. Although he wasn't in the matchday squad. Furthermore, what's being said of van Nistelrooy also lends hope to a prospective run out for Monga:
