Liverpool are being tipped to seal the signing of another incredible teenage talent, as sporting director Richard Hughes aims to pull off a transfer coup with the addition of Leicester City starlet\u00a0Jeremy Monga.<\/p>\n
Rio Ngumoha was arguably the most exciting addition at Anfield during Hughes\u2019 first \u2013 albeit a quiet one \u2013 summer transfer window, and made his professional debut as a starter in Liverpool\u2019s 4-0 win against Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup.<\/p>\n
Indeed, Anfield Watch states that the now 16-year-old \u2019caused shockwaves\u2019 when he arrived on Merseyside last summer, having been\u00a0recognised as one of the biggest talents in England at the time.<\/p>\n
Signing elite young talent is a process that has become a tradition for Liverpool<\/a> over the last few years, having snapped up Trey Nyoni prior to bringing in Ngumoha, while\u00a0Ben Doak, Bobby Clark and Kaide Gordon all came before.<\/p>\n Current Reds first-teamer Harvey Elliot started the trend when he arrived as a 16-year-old from Fulham and now Hughes is looking to strike gold again with the addition of\u00a0Monga from the Foxes.<\/p>\n The winger, who can also play as a No.10,\u00a0became the second youngest player to make an appearance in the Premier League at 15 years, eight months and two days old against Newcastle recently.<\/p>\n Only Arsenal\u2019s Ethan Nwaneri has debuted at a younger age in the English top flight, but Monga\u2019s future remains uncertain at Leicester City as plenty of top clubs monitor his current situation.<\/p>\n And, according to Fichajes, Liverpool are now battling Manchester City for the forward\u2019s signature and are \u2018ready to agree a deal\u2019 to bring him to Anfield.<\/p>\n \u2b07\ufe0f DON\u2019T MISS \u2b07\ufe0f<\/strong><\/p>\n How the last 10 Liverpool players to sign a new contract aged 30+ fared after Van Dijk, Salah renewals<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The key contract details of every Liverpool first-team player: Expiry dates, weekly wages, agents\u2026<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Liverpool hoping history repeats itself in Monga deal<\/strong><\/p>\n Monga is regarded as a major talent in youth football, having scored one goal and added four assists in five appearances for Leicester\u2019s Under-18 side. The youngster has also scored twice and assisted two more goals for the Foxes Under-21s in eight outings.<\/p>\n Indeed, Monga made an impression coming on as a late substitute against the Reds in Sunday\u2019s Premier League clash \u2013 a game in which Arne Slot\u2019s men triumphed 1-0 to send Leicester straight back to the Championship.<\/p>\n Fichajes adds, however, that Liverpool will face stiff competition from City when it comes to trying to convince Monga over his next move.<\/p>\n Ironically,\u00a0Ngumoha also had the same call to make when he joined the Reds last summer from Chelsea, with Hughes able to convince the player that Anfield was the right fit.<\/p>\n They\u2019ll now be hoping that history repeats itself in the ongoing plan to preserve the club\u2019s future.<\/p>\n Latest Liverpool news<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34\u00a0Liverpool chances of outrageous Kevin De Bruyne transfer revealed as source brutally puts down Man City icon<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34\u00a0Liverpool get monumental Dean Huijsen update as Romano reveals Real Madrid truths on transfer hijack<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
