Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has reassured fans that a new contract for promising 15-year-old forward Jeremy Monga is nearing completion. Monga, who made headlines as only the second 15-year-old to play in the Premier League, has attracted significant interest from major clubs such as Manchester City, Chelsea, and Real Madrid. Van Nistelrooy expressed optimism about Monga's future with Leicester, discussing personal conversations with him and his family, and emphasizing his potential development within the club.
"We want a future with him and hoping we can announce a contract with him soon," Van Nistelrooy told talkSPORT.
"If he can stay and this is his future, and he can make minutes and build him into his pathway," Van Nistelrooy noted.
"It is a joy to work with him. We sometimes talk about his GCSEs and mathematics, and I have to help him with that also, but then we talk about football also."
"He nearly scored a winner here also. That would have been a fairytale."
