Enzo Maresca is preparing for his first campaign as Manchester City boss (Picture: Getty Images) Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca says Jeremy Monga made the right choice in turning down Arsenal and moving to the Etihad from Leicester City instead. The 17-year-old has already got 37 first team appearances to his name for the Foxes, seven of which came in the Premier League. The winger was being pursued by both Arsenal and Manchester City this summer and revealed that he was very close to choosing north London as his next home. Speaking of interest from the Gunners in him, Monga told the BBC: ‘It was very strong because it was very close to me going there, very close.’ Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. On why he opted for Manchester City, he explained: ‘The main decision was probably the pathway and the club itself. ‘They’ve been so successful that it was a no-brainer when City call. It’s every child’s dream to win trophies and be at the top with the best. ‘Once I get the opportunity I just need to show myself, and once I do that, everything will take care of itself. I feel like, to me personally, I see myself at City more. I see myself in blue.’ Jeremy Monga had some very attractive options in front of him (Picture: REUTERS) City snapped up the teenager for £10m and he is hoping that the pathway is as clear as he believed it to be and he can make an impression on the first team this season. Monga has featured in pre-season, coming off the bench against a K-League XI last week, but was an unused substitute as City beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 on Sunday. Maresca feels the youngster made the right choice in choosing his summer move and feels Manchester City’s accumulation of silverware over the last 10 years makes them a more attractive prospect than their rivals. Monga appeared for Manchester City in Seoul last week (Picture: Getty Images) ‘Absolutely yes,’ he said of City being an extremely attractive proposition for young players. ‘What the club and this organisation has made in the last 10-15 years is unbelievable. ‘So it’s also for the young generation, for the young players, it’s a good reason why to join this club and I think Jeremy did the right choice.’ The new manager added of the teenager: ‘Jeremy is doing well. The important thing is they work without pressure. Just enjoy, work hard and then with spending days together, for sure they’re going to be better.’ England star Elliot Anderson has arrived at Manchester City (Picture: Getty Images) Monga will need some time to work his way into the first team, while another new signing, Elliot Anderson, is likely to go straight into the side after his big-money move from Nottingham Forest. Speaking of his new £116m midfielder, Maresca said: ‘When we make a decision it’s not just about how they are as a player – which is important – but we also look at the behaviour, the person, the human. ‘Elliot has all these kind of things. He’s a fantastic player, a very nice guy, humble, polite and it will be a pleasure for me to work with him.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source

Frank Lampard’s Coventry will play in the Premier League for the first time since 2001 (Photo: Getty) A former Manchester United star is reportedly keen on returning to the Premier League amid interest from Frank Lampard’s Coventry City. After cruising to the Championship title, Coventry are preparing to play in the Premier League for the first time since in 2001, kicking-off the new season against champions Arsenal on August 21. And Lampard has splashed the case this summer transfer window, spending £86million on five players, including highly-rated English goalkeeper Carl Rushworth from Brighton. More signings will be needed to give the Sky Blues the best possible chance of avoiding relegation and, according to L’Equipe, they have made enquiries about Marseille’s Angel Gomes. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. The midfielder came through United’s academy but failed to break into the first-team before joining Lille, where he quietly impressed, leading to Lee Carsley giving him his England debut in 2024. Gomes only signed for Marseille last summer before spending the second-half of the season on loan at Wolves, though he was unable to stop their relegation. It is said that the 25-year-old wants another chance to prove himself in his homeland and while Marseille do not wish to sell him, they will not stand in his way if a suitable deal can be agreed. Angel Gomes joined Marseille on a free only last summer (Photo: Getty) Due to their financial situation, the French club need to sell this summer, and as one of their top earners, Gomes, who is under contract until 2028, is a top candidate to leave. Additionally, Sky Sports report that Marseille striker Neal Maupay, formerly of Brentford, Everton and Brighton, and defender Leonardo Balerdi, are also of interest to several Premier League clubs. Newcastle United were on course to sign Gomes’ current midfield partner Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to replace captain Brumo Guimaraes, who recently completed a £75m switch to Arsenal. Gomes made just 10 senior appearances for boyhood club Man Utd (Photo: Getty) However, it was reported on Monday that the former Tottenham star has declined the chance to return to England, in yet another transfer blow for the Magpies. In other news, rumours from Italy suggest Lampard is preparing an ambitious bid to reunite with former Chelsea and England centre-back Fikayo Tomori, whose future at AC Milan is unclear.

Mikel Arteta ‘likes Christian Kofane very much’, according to the striker’s agent (Picture: Getty) Christian Kofane says he would be open to a move to the Premier League in the future – but remains committed to Bayer Leverkusen ahead of the new season. The 20-year-old striker joined Leverkusen from Spanish second-tier outfit Albacete last summer and showed several glimpses of his undoubted promise across an encouraging debut season in the Bundesliga. While he is yet to establish himself as a guarantee starter for Leverkusen, Kofane finished the campaign with a tally of seven goals and nine assists in his opening 44 appearances appearances for the club. Arguably Kofane’s most notable contribution came during the last-16 stage of the Champions League, when he caught the eye in both legs against the eventual runners-up Arsenal. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. The young centre-forward more than held his own against Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba and was perhaps unfortunate not to score in the second meeting, with David Raya producing a stunning save to deny him late on at the Emirates. Subsequent reports emanating out of Germany claimed Arsenal were so enamoured by Kofane’s showings that they were even discussing a summer move – rumours that were seemingly confirmed by the player’s agent Eric Depolo. ‘Yes, Arsenal’s interest is genuine,’ Depolo told Daily Arsenal. Kofane shone against Arsenal in the Champions League (Picture: Getty) The Cameroon international has also been linked with Everton this summer (Picture: Getty) ‘The manager [Mikel Arteta] likes him very much.’ Asked which other clubs had expressed an interest in Kofane, Depolo replied: ‘Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton, Brentford, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.’ Depolo suggested the presence of both Arteta and Saliba in north London had put Arsenal in ‘pole position’ to strike a deal for the Cameroon international. ‘I think it is too early to say [which club is leading the race],’ he explained. Kofane has been capped six times by Cameroon (Picture: Getty) ‘But due to the fact that the player speaks Spanish, like Mikel Arteta, and that William Saliba is originally from Cameroon, I would say Arsenal are in pole position. ‘There is contact between me and Arsenal. But their focus right now is to win the league – from there everything will start moving.’ Depolo claimed Arsenal would be acquiring a ‘complete’ striker for the next decade should they secure a deal for his client. He added: ‘He is a €100million (£85m) player. With Kofane, Arsenal will have a top striker for the next ten years.’ {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Martin Odegaard heads ball directly into police officer during Arsenal parade","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/06\/01\/188721103218914644\/480x270_MP4_188721103218914644.mp4","description":"Whoops!","duration":"T8S","height":480,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/06\/01\/12\/109008017-0-image-a-36_1780314932393.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-06-01T12:52:23+0100","width":270} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); In the intervening months, Everton are believed to have stepped up their interest in Kofa

Former Man Utd and Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre (Picture: Getty) Former Manchester United and Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre believes only three teams are capable of winning the Premier League this season. Mikel Arteta is preparing for Arsenal’s title defence after the Gunners won the Premier League for the first time since 2004 last season. Arsenal were involved in another tense title race with Manchester City but ended up winning the Premier League by seven points. Man City will expect to challenge once again as the most dominant team in English football over the last decade, but it remains to be seen whether Enzo Maresca can successfully replace legendary manager Pep Guardiola.

Manchester United recovered from a poor first-half to the season to climb to third once Michael Carrick replaced Ruben Amorim in the Old Trafford hot-seat. Unai Emery’s Aston Villa secured fourth ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who finished 25 points behind Arsenal despite a stunning spending spree last summer and decided to sack Arne Slot in the summer. Silvestre knows what it takes to win the Premier League, having played a part in four Manchester United title triumphs under Sir Alex Ferguson. Arsenal won the Premier League last season (Picture: Getty) The former France international insists it will be ‘tough’ for Arsenal to retain their Premier League trophy but views Manchester City and Liverpool as the only two ‘realistic’ contenders outside of the reigning champions.
