Chelsea and @Manchester_City are among the leading European clubs keeping a close eye on Leicester 15-year-old Jeremy Monga, who is already training regularly with the first team.

@Paris_Saint_Germain and @Barcelonaen have also made enquiries about Monga, a winger who can also play in other roles across the front line. He was included in the squad for Leicester’s recent FA Cup tie at @ManchesterUnited.

Monga is already an England Under-16 international and is regarded as one of the best prospects Leicester have produced.

Monga has played six times in Premier League 2, registering a goal and an assist.

@Manchester_City are ready to make a move for Chelsea goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli following the departure of Scott Carson.

Bettinelli, 33, has been targeted as the right profile to support a goalkeeper stable led by Ederson, with hopes of a deal before the transfer window closes on Tuesday for Club World Cup teams to sign players for the tournament.

He has been at Stamford Bridge for four seasons and played just once, yet is recognised by managers as having an important part in the squad for pushing team-mates in training.

Bettinelli is also homegrown, which helps with City’s quotas for the Premier League and Champions League next season.

@Manchester_City are set to complete the signing of experienced goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli from Chelsea.

Bettinelli, who has a year remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge, will move for an undisclosed fee.

He is expected to be part of City’s squad for the Club World Cup with Chelsea, appreciative of his service over his four years at the club, helping facilitate a move in time for the newly-expanded tournament.

𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋: Marcus Bettinelli has joined @Manchester_City on a permanent transfer from Chelsea. 🤝

The 33-year-old goalkeeper has agreed a one-year deal and will join Pep Guardiola’s squad in time for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.

Marcus spent four seasons at Stamford Bridge and was involved in Chelsea squads that won the UEFA Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup.

Marcus was also instrumental in supporting the work of Chelsea Foundation across various projects, and deservedly received recognition at the CFC Awards 2025 in May when named as the men’s team PFA Community Champion.

Marcus’ sole appearance for the first team came during the 2021/22 campaign. He started in the FA Cup third-round tie against Chesterfield, which Chelsea won 5-1.

All the best, marcusbettinelli!🧤💪

@Manchester_City are considering Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez as a midfield option this summer.

It’s understood City’s interest in the Argentina international is at an early stage and there are other midfield targets they are looking at, including Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson.

@Real_Madrid are also among Fernandez’s admirers, but at this stage it is unclear whether they would make a move for him.

Fernandez’s comments about Madrid during March’s international break resulted in him being dropped for two games by Liam Rosenior.
