    Manchester City have entered the race to sign Leicester City's teenage attacker Jeremy Monga.

    Monga, 16, is attracting major interest from a number of Premier League clubs this summer, including from Arsenal and Brentford.

    The Gunners are the most advanced in their interest, but City - who are long-term admirers of Monga - are understood to have made enquiries towards a potential move in recent days.

    Monga - who turns 17 this month - agreed to a one-year scholarship contract which is set to turn into a professional contract 10 July.

    That means interested parties will be required to pay a transfer fee for the teenager, wiith reports indicating Leicester want a minimum of £10m.

    Monga, who has made 37 appearances for the Foxes, is the third-youngest player to feature in a Premier League match, behind Arsenal duo Max Dowman and Ethan Nwaneri.

    Leicester City have appointed former Barnsley boss Conor Hourihane as assistant manager and Rhys Owen as fitness coach.

    Hourihane, 35, left Barnsley at the end of last season after 14 months in charge, leading them to a 15th-place finish in League One in his first managerial role.

    Rhys Owen previously worked with manager Russell Martin at Norwich City, Swansea City, Southampton and Rangers.

    As a result of these appointments, Leicester have announced the departures of first-team coach Adam Sadler and set-piece coach Andy Hughes.

    Leicester suffered a second successive relegation at the end of last season and will start the League One season away at newly promoted Notts County on Saturday, 15 August (12:30 BST).
