After Jeremy Monga’s £12million move from Leicester City to Manchester City last month at age 17, it should come as no shock that England’s top clubs are now looking at another of the Midlands side’s brightest academy prospects.Leicester will compete in third-tier League One this season after successive relegations, and less than a week from their opening match on Saturday, Premier League interest in 18-year-old Louis Page has surfaced.Manchester United appear closest to prying the midfielder away from King Power Stadium, as they are in talks, but champions Arsenal also hold an interest.Page is well known to those who follow youth football in England, as well as those who like to find upcoming ‘wonderkids’ on the Football Manager game.He won Leicester’s Academy Player of the Year in 2024-25 and was voted the Championship’s Apprentice of the Season for 2025-26, but may have gone under the radar to the wider footballing world, due to Leicester’s continuing struggles on the pitch.Aged 17, he played 21 first-team matches, including five starts in the Championship, but there is a caveat: these appearances added up to only 744 minutes, the equivalent of just over eight 90-minute matches. His one other senior appearance came as a late substitute in the 1-0 Carabao Cup first-round win over League Two visitors Northampton Town on Saturday.Last season, he also played nine matches (695 minutes) for Leicester Under-21s, with his appearances for each side coming in waves.The teenager started two Championship matches in August, then spent September and October with the under-21s and England Under-20s. He returned to the Leicester first team with a string of substitute appearances between late November and the middle of January, before another two Championship starts at the end of the latter month. March and much of April saw him back with the under-21s before he was reinstated for the last two league games of Leicester’s season, starting the campaign-ending 1-0 win against Blackburn Rovers.It is not uncommon for players this age to have such a mixed schedule, as they can be better suited to first-team exposure at different times.Leicester’s doomed fight to avoid back-to-back relegations would not have helped get the best out of Page, but he was still able to show glimpses of why Premier League clubs would be interested in signing him.In senior football, it is Page’s ability to quickly make up ground that stands out.Whether it is readying himself for a second ball or anticipating a loose touch from an opponent, this trait translated into some of his brighter moments, like his sole assist of the season, against Birmingham City last August (below).When the ball is hooked hopefully into the centre, Page recognises the situation quicker than those who would have been closer to the bounce, and takes full advantage.
