Newcastle’s victory over Leicester (0-3) left a moment for history. Minute 74. Jeremy Monga (10-7-2009) replaces Bilal El Khannouss and becomes the second youngest debutant (15 years and 271 days) in the history of the Premier. It only surpasses Ethan Nwaneri (15 years and 181 days).
There are two data that especially call attention. Monga is 23! years younger than his partner Jamie Vardy. The second was even more news: the young English end, unlike his teammates, jumped into the field without advertising in the shirt.
And the Premier implemented a law in 2020 that prevents minor players from showing sponsorships linked to the game. In this case, from BC.Game, the ‘online’ cryptocurrency platform that ‘saw’ Leicester.
He is so young, in fact, that he will have to wait for 2026 to sign his first professional contract. Ruud van Nistelrooy, after the game, did not hesitate to ‘chest’ for its premiere: “You could see flashes of their great qualities. It is a great extreme and is speed. It is a fantastic talent, a great boy. He deserved these minutes and, hopefully, many more.”

Monga, this season, accumulates three goals and six assists in the 13 games (898 minutes) that has played this season between the Reserva and Youth team.
It was the ‘face’ in the ‘Cruz’ of Leicester. The ‘foxes’ have a foot and a half: they are 15 points from salvation. They have also become the first team in the history of the Premier that loses eight consecutive games at home … without scoring a single goal.
