Arsenal prepare second Monga bid
Arsenal are preparing a new bid for highly rated 16-year-old Jeremy Monga after Leicester City rejected their initial offer for the winger.
The Mirror report that the Gunners are keen to secure the England youth international, who made 27 Championship appearances last season as Leicester suffered relegation to League One.
While the details of Arsenalâs first proposal have not been revealed, the club remain confident of striking a deal, with the player believed to be open to a move to the Emirates Stadium despite interest from sides including Newcastle and Brentford.
Any transfer is unlikely to progress until after July 10, when Monga turns 17 and is eligible to sign his first professional contract.
Leicester are under no pressure to sell and will only sanction a departure if their valuation is met.

West Ham may still have to convince Jarrod Bowen to stay at the club this summer, with his commitment hinging on the clubâs direction.

Man Utd in talks to sign 14-year-old
Manchester United are in talks to sign highly rated teenage striker Blake Henry.
Manchester Evening News report that United are leading the race of the 14-year-old, who scored 45 goals last term for Derbyâs youth teams, establishing himself as one of the most promising young forwards in his age group.

Tottenham reject latest Brighton bid for Vuskovic
Totteham have rejected Brightonâs latest offer for Luka Vuskovic.
After agreeing to sell Jan Paul van Hecke to Spurs for ÂŁ52m, Brighton have identified Vuskovic as a key replacement.
