Leicester City have a new wonderkid on their books, with Louis Page attracting strong interest from Manchester United amid links with Arsenal.
Just last month, 17-year-old Jeremy Monga swapped the Foxes for Manchester City in a deal worth a reported £12.5million. The Gunners had hoped to sign the teenager, but got pipped at the post.
Transfer race heats up
Arsenal and Aston Villa are said to be circling Page, though Man Utd are reportedly in pole position to sign the youngster.
Page played for Leicester against Northampton in the Carabao Cup last weekend, but could soon be turning out in the Premier League.
Who is Louis Page?
The 18-year-old is regarded as one of the brightest young talents outside the Premier League.
Page was named EFL Apprentice of the Year last season, despite Leicester's relegation to League One. England and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham is among past winners of the award.
A left-footed central midfielder, with a preference to attack, Page has already made 21 senior appearances for Leicester and is also an England Under-20 international.
The teenager, who stands at over six-feet tall, has often been commended for his ability to escape a press and arrive late in the penalty area for goalscoring opportunities.
Man Utd advantage
Page is said to be a Manchester United supporter, giving the Reds a key advantage in a competitive transfer chase.
Leicester tied Page down to professional terms last year, so United - or any interested club - would need to agree a transfer fee with the League One club rather than the deal value being decided by a tribunal.
