Overview
- At 16 years and 37 days old, Monga surpassed Jude Bellingham’s 2019 mark of 16 years and 63 days by scoring in the 67th minute at Deepdale.
- Monga’s equaliser cancelled out Alfie Devine’s early opener before Milutin Osmajic struck five minutes from full time to secure Preston’s 2-1 victory.
- The winger made seven substitute appearances during Leicester’s 2024–25 Premier League relegation season and recently became the club’s youngest-ever starter in a Carabao Cup tie.
- Manager Marti Cifuentes praised both Monga and fellow 16-year-old Louis Page and said he intends to integrate them into the first team for long-term success.
- Jude Bellingham’s former record at Birmingham City now serves as a benchmark for Monga’s rapid rise in England’s second tier.
