Ruud van Nistelrooy has said Leicester City are hopeful of announcing a new contract for teenage winger Jeremy Monga.
The 15-year-old, who began his GCSE exams in school this week, has attracted attention from a number of clubs including Manchester City, Chelsea and Real Madrid, following his displays in Leicester’s Under-21 side.

However, despite only being able to train with the first team a couple of times per week because of school, Van Nistelrooy has given him five senior appearances.
“We want a future with him and hoping we can announce a contract with him soon,” Van Nistelrooy told talkSPORT.
Monga came off the bench again during the 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest and nearly scored a winner with a curling effort.
“If he can stay and this is his future, and he can make minutes and build him into his pathway,” Van Nistelrooy said in his post-match press conference after the game.
“I have had many conversations with him and his family and hopefully he can sign soon. But it is up to him.
“It is a joy to work with him. We sometimes talk about his GCSEs and mathematics, and I have to help him with that also, but then we talk about football also. He nearly scored a winner here also. That would have been a fairytale.”
Leicester return to action on May 18 when they host Ipswich Town, with both sides already relegated to next season’s Championship.

Bengals mock schedule: What Cincinnati is monitoring and outlining best, worst scenarios
Schedule week is upon us. The final milepost in the NFL’s offseason event cycle before they blow the dust off of “Back Together Saturday” in late July.Wednesday’s release matters, though. Maybe not as much as signing a guard in free agency, but the release’s results will be a part of the conversation this fall.Right now, that conversation is coming from the Bengals’ front office with a finger pointed at the league: Enough with the prime-time road games.By coincidence, flex, de-flex and bad luck, the Bengals played five prime-time road games last season, more than any team in NFL history.Last year, road teams in prime time went 24-35 and the last time teams finished even .500 in those scenarios in a season was 2014.The Bengals went 3-2 in those contests, but they included another Thursday night prime-time game in Baltimore, which […]
Despedida contra Brasil, auxiliar técnico na final do tetra: relembre as relações de Ancelotti com a seleção brasileira
Anunciado pela CBF como novo treinador da seleção brasileira, o italiano Carlo Ancelotti, 64 anos, teve o Brasil em seu caminho ao longo da carreira como jogador e técnico. Ao todo, ele enfrentou os brasileiros quatro vezes: três dentro das quatro linhas e uma à beira do campo. Duas ocasiões foram marcantes: a despedida de Ancelotti dos campos num amistoso entre Milan e Brasil, na Itália, e a final da Copa do Mundo de 1994, nos Estados Unidos. Apesar de ter disputado duas Copas do Mundo pela seleção italiana, Ancelotti nunca enfrentou o Brasil, como jogador, pela Itália. Foram duas partidas pelo Milan e uma pela seleção do "Resto do Mundo”, no aniversário dos 50 anos do Rei Pelé. Milan x Brasil (1989) O primeiro contato de Ancelotti com a seleção brasileira foi em um amistoso, pelo Milan, em 1989, […]

NFL top-10 rankings: Commanders ahead of Chiefs … but can either catch Eagles?
Bucky Brooks NFL Analyst <!--> With free agency and the NFL Draft behind us, we've seen a shuffling of rosters around the league. So which teams have solidified their standings as championship contenders?Let's rank the top-10 NFL teams as we head into summer:1. Philadelphia Eagles: The defending champs are not resting on their laurels with general manager Howie Roseman making shrewd moves to keep the team young, athletic, and dynamic. The Eagles moved on from a handful of key veterans to create room for an influx of newbies to help chase back-to-back titles. Rookies Jihaad Campbell, Andrew Mukuba, and Ty Robinson join a defensive lineup already littered with young playmakers, such as Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith Jr., Cooper DeJean, and Quinyon Mitchell.

Giannis Antetokounmpo reportedly open-minded to possibly leaving Bucks
<!--> Giannis Antetokounmpo hasn’t requested a trade yet, but he might decide that’s best for him later this offseason. For the first time in his career, the Milwaukee Bucks star is open-minded about whether his current team is his best fit or not, ESPN reported Monday.Trade rumors immediately began to swirl around Antetokunmpo when the Bucks were eliminated in the first round of the 2025 playoffs by the Indiana Pacers in five games. While it marked the third straight year that Milwaukee was eliminated in the first round, there was also a devastating development to the Bucks’ future in that series. Star guard Damian Lillard tore his Achilles in Game 4, likely sidelining the 34-year-old for the entire 2025-26 season.Now, Antetokounmpo and his agents are expected to meet with Bucks management at some point this offseason as teams around the […]
