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.
Leicester City teenager Jeremy Monga, signed for £10m from the Foxes, is making his Premier League debut with Manchester City. The 17-year-old, who came off the bench in City's 3-1 friendly win over a K-League XI in Seoul, displayed his youthful energy during his brief 30 minutes on the pitch. Despite Arsenal showing strong interest in the young player, City secured his signature over their title rivals.
Monga, the third-youngest player to appear in the Premier League, expressed his admiration for former Chelsea star Eden Hazard and aims to emulate the Belgian's direct playing style.
