Arsenal are on the verge of signing their own Olise through a verbal agreement

Coming to this transfer window, a big sum is expected from Arsenal after winning the Premier League for the first time in 22 years.

Josh Kroenke has assured fans that plans are ready, saying: “We've already had a few conversations about different areas we think we can improve – on and off the pitch”. Incidentally, Mikel Arteta also expressed his views.

Speaking after the Champions League final, he realized that now is the time to show more ambition.

Arteta said: “We are starting to make very important decisions if we want to reach the next level. And we will have to show that ambition. We are more than capable of doing it, but it will require us to be very determined, very ambitious, very fast and very smart.”

So who will come? It would be best to start by looking at the forward line.

Arsenal are already closing in on the first signing of the summer

Look at the starting XIs in Budapest last weekend and the difference between the two sides was obvious. Arsenal are lacking in attack at the moment despite their success and it is important that they address that before anything else.

One of their main targets is Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers who has held direct talks with English agents. Likewise, questions have been made to Marcus Rashford to understand his situation at Manchester United.

Other options to strengthen the forward positions include PSG's Bradley Barcola and AC Milan's Rafael Leao. While they will arrive as first-team regulars, Andrea Berta and Co are looking to the future as well.

In recent weeks, reports have revealed that Arsenal have been in talks to secure the signing of Jeremy Monga, a youngster from Leicester City.

Negotiations have been moving forward rapidly and according to reporter Ben Jacobs, there are high-level talks underway to close the deal.

In full, Jacobs said: “Negotiations advanced with Leicester after Monga chose Arsenal over several other clubs. A full verbal agreement is imminent.”

Monga is currently only 17 years old and after Leicester's relegation from League One, an exit feels inevitable.

The transfer fee at this point in time is uncertain. The age of the player means that it may have to be determined using the court.

Why Monga could be a game changer in Arsenal's attack

The youngster may have played in the Championship last season but he is an incredible talent.

One goal and two assists in the second division may not mean much but the fact that he has made 27 senior appearances at the age of 17 should be enough to convince you that he is the real deal.

Any normal player at that age would still be playing football but Monga is not normal, he is one of the youngest players ever to play Premier League football.

Having played seven games for the Foxes, only Ethan Nwaneri and Max Dowman have played in England's top division as youngsters during the Premier League.

So, why all the hype and why do Arsenal want him? Well, in case you haven't figured it out yet, he is one of the best young players in European football.

Hailed as “one of England's brightest talents” by Como scout Ben Mattinson, he also hailed the youngster as “England's Ousmane Dembele”.

Not just like Dembele, Monga is a player cut from the same cloth as players like Bukayo Saka and Michael Olise. Mattinson notes that he is “a two-footed football player.” In that he is certainly like Saka.

However, like Olise, the Leicester star has quick feet and elite playmaking ability. GOAL even highlighted the comparison by writing that Monga's “ability to get past defenders, ghost past them and produce when it matters can be compared to Michael Olise's style of play.”

Not only can he play either side, another advantage for Arteta is that the youngster can play in midfield as a 10. He's like the aforementioned Rogers in that regard.

Although the winner may be small, this is a truly exciting addition to Arsenal's ranks. After all, they need more quality and depth in Monga's favored position on the left.

Gabriel Martinelli scored the lone goal all season and there was a stretch in which Leandro Trossard failed to find the back of the net in 25 straight games.

Monga won't come and break into the starting XI but the path to the senior team shouldn't be too much of a challenge in the coming years.

Arsenal have seen players like Dowman and Nwaneri reach new heights but none of them are looking forward. That is an area where it feels like the Hale End school has failed to produce.

So, stealing Leicester's biggest jewels ticks a lot of boxes. This is a top talent in the making.
