Foxes' cub is Real star in the making

- BY ALAN SMITH

JEREMY MONGA has the world at his feet but Leicester boss Marti Cifuentes is convinced they will remain firmly on the ground despite fresh interest from Real Madrid.

Monga last weekend became the youngest player to score a Championship goal, aged 16 years and 37 days - eclipsing the mark set by Jude Bellingham, who was 26 days older.

And with scouts from Real and a number of Premier League giants watching Monga closely, Cifuentes is more than happy to give the winger freedom to flourish.

“He's a very nice boy, he’s humble and it's something that at his age is very important,” Cifuentes said ahead of today’s visit to Charlton.

“He wants to learn, he wants to improve. He's got his feet on the ground. I have daily conversations with him and, the way I see him training, he’s calm.
