Jeremy Monga has opened the door to a move to Arsenal with the Premier League champions now in advanced talks to sign the Leicester City winger, according to reports.
Leicester face the prospect of losing Monga this summer following their relegation from the Championship and the 16-year-old has attracted interest from several clubs in the Premier League and across Europe.
Last year, Monga agreed a professional contract with Leicester, which starts when he turns 17 on July 10 and enables the Foxes to command a transfer fee for the winger.
Chelsea and Manchester United are among the Premier League clubs who have registered their interest in signing Monga this summer.

However, Fabrizio Romano reports that Arsenal are now pushing ahead with a deal for Monga as the winger has indicated that he would agree a move to Mikel Arteta’s side.
Leicester are understood to be holding out for a transfer fee between £10 million and £15m.
Monga made his Premier League debut aged just 15 years, eight months and 28 days old, and is the third-youngest player in Premier League history behind Arsenal duo Ethan Nwaneri and Max Dowman.
Last August, in August, Monga became the youngest goalscorer in Championship history with his strike in Leicester’s defeat to Preston.
