Rejecting Arsenal & emulating Hazard - Monga makes debut in Man City win
Jeremy Monga's £10m move from Leicester to Manchester City may have gone under the radar this summer, but the teenager's own career is not expected to go in quite the same manner as he aims to emulate his idol Eden Hazard.
Teenage footballer Jeremy Monga made his debut in the Premier League with Manchester City, despite initial interest from Arsenal. The 17-year-old is the third-youngest player to appear in the top flight and is seen as a promising talent by City, who boast former Leicester boss Enzo Maresca. Monga came on as a substitute in City's 3-1 friendly against a K-League XI, displaying his youthful energy and nearly scoring a goal that was eventually disallowed for handball.
He expressed his excitement about joining City, praising the club's success and his desire to emulate former Chelsea star Eden Hazard.
