Jeremy Monga is expected to complete a season-long loan move to Swansea before Tuesday's 23:00 BST deadline, with a medical due before the paperwork goes through. The move would give the 17-year-old winger another senior step after a quick rise through the game, while Swansea also clear a path for L. Walta to leave for Los Angeles FC on loan.
Monga's path into senior football
Monga made his senior debut for Manchester City as a 15-year-old during the 2024-25 campaign, then went on to feature 30 times for Leicester in the Championship last season. He also became the youngest scorer in the Championship when he scored in Leicester City's 2-1 defeat by Preston North End in August last year.
Those are the kind of numbers that explain why Swansea are moving for him. At 17, he already has senior experience, and Manchester City's director of football Hugo Viana described him as an "exciting player" and said he has "already made huge strides in his young career".
Walta's exit and Swansea's deadline-day work
Walta was omitted from Swansea's matchday squad for the 3-0 win at Derby County and is set to join Los Angeles on loan. Swansea remain unbeaten in the league this season, so the reshuffle is happening from a position of some strength rather than urgency.
The only detail still to clear is the medical and the final loan steps for Monga, with Tuesday night's deadline at 23:00 BST now the key marker.
