Why Jeremy Monga was not wearing a shirt sponsor as Leicester City Premier League story against Newcastle – Premier League

The reason why the Leicester City-Junge Jeremy Monga was not able to wear a shirt sponsor was explained after her 3-0 defeat against Newcastle United.

On Monday evening, Newcastle United Leicester City dominated the King Power Stadium and won the game 3-0.

A bracket by Jacob Murphy in the first 10 minutes of the game, followed by a third goal of the former Leicester star Harvey Barnes, slightly sealed the visitors, with their hopes for the football of the Champions League kept alive.

But maybe one of the most remarkable moments came in the game when Leicester brought the Youngster Monga to the field in a kit, which differs particularly as his teammates.

When Monga came onto the field in the 74th minute of the game, he became the second youngest player in the history of the Premier League at the age of 15 and 271, after only Arsenal star Ethan Nwaneri, who made his debut with 15 years and 181 days.

When the young midfielder came onto the field to play on the right wing, the fans quickly noticed that his kit looked different from his teammates, since the logo of the shirt sponsor was completely absent and Mongo was wearing a shirt instead that was only intended by the club and Adidas Logos.

The reason for this is that due to his age, the rules of the Premier League explains that no player under the age of 18 can promote gambling.

The Leicester City shirts are sponsored by BC.Game, is an online gaming platform with a casino that uses cryptocurrency, which means that Monga’s shirt could not show the sponsor logo.

As with several other Premier League clubs that were sponsored by a gambling website, Leicester City’s U18 teams have all different sponsors for their colleagues in the first team.

Monga stood alongside the Leicester legend Jamie Vardy, who was 23 years older at the age of 38 than his teammate, which means that Monga was only three years old when Vardy already came to Leicester in 2012.

The England U16 International was only six years old when the Foxes in 2016 amazed the title of Premier League.

The manager of Leicester, Ruud van Nistelrooy, said about Monga last week: “He develops really well and you can see how good he is.

“I also mentioned the situation that is limited to the team as a 15-year-old with school and with the opportunity to have him in a team.”
