Liverpool 'ready' to sign 16-year-old wonderkid ahead of Premier League rivals

One of Liverpool's main goals in the transfer market has been to plan ahead for the future.

Although some of the Reds' signings such as Wataru Endo and Federico Chiesa have been a bit on the older side, most of the Reds' recruitment comes with them having half an eye on their future.

Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah are both exiting Anfield this summer which means that a massive chunk of the experience within their team will be taken away.

With this in mind, you'd think that Arne Slot and Richard Hughes would be trying to recruit some experienced talent but, that's clearly not the case.

Liverpool will fight Premier League rivals for transfer of Jeremy Monga

Although no first-team players were brought in during the January transfer window, Liverpool brought in a fair few youngsters to bolster their youth ranks.

Mor Talla Ndiaye and Noah Adekoya are just two examples of this with both centre-backs being added to the Reds' ranks.

Liverpool's academy is one of the best in England with the Anfield outfit being well-known for promoting their youngsters into their first-team squad.

Curtis Jones and Conor Bradley are two living examples of this which is why it hardly comes as a surprise to see the club now being linked with a 16-year-old winger.

As per a report from Football Insider, Liverpool are one of many Premier League clubs who are interested in acquiring the services of Jeremy Monga.

The 16-year-old has been a regular feature for Leicester this season and, due to this, Liverpool are now 'ready' to join the transfer chase for the youngster.

Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle are all also interested in signing the youngster this summer.

Leicester are 'reluctant' to lose the youngster but they do know that it would be 'very difficult' for them to keep him around if they were relegated to League One.

Although Monga wouldn't have an instant impact on the Reds' starting XI, he could eventually become a starting attacker, especially with all the changes that have occurred.

Jeremy Monga is an exceptional talent

Although Monga isn't a player that most fans will have heard of, the fact that he's the second-youngest player to ever play in the Premier League proves how good he actually is.

The 16-year-old is a natural left-winger but, Leicester have been played him on the right in the past.

He's played 28 games across all competitions for the Foxes this term and, even though he may have only contributed to three goals, the fact that Leicester are in some of their worst form ever lets him off the hook.

It's clear that the transfer chase for Monga will not be an easy one with how many clubs are interested in signing him but, if Liverpool manage to pull the move off, they'll be in dreamland.

The fee required to prise him away from the King Power Stadium isn't listed in the report but, no matter the fee, it feels like the young attacker would be a worthwhile signing.
