Leicester City have potential for golden generation as midfielder gets England call..
It’s not just Jeremy Monga and Jake Evans coming through the ranks, with one of their team-mates from last season’s Under-16 Premier League Cup involved with England Under-17s..
While all the focus is on Jeremy Monga and Jake Evans, another member of Leicester City’s Under-16 Premier League Cup winning side is making strides too.
Central midfielder Louis Page, who played alongside Monga and Evans in the final against Manchester City last May, has been called up to England’s Under-17s.
While he made a couple of appearances at the level last November, this month’s games will be big opportunities for Page to continue to show he deserves to be in the squad ahead of some key fixtures in March.
Next month, England face Israel, Slovenia, and Northern Ireland in a trio of matches that can earn them qualification to the summer’s European Championships and the Under-17 World Cup at the end of the year.
Like Monga and Evans, Page has jumped up the ranks in City’s academy, despite only being 16 years of age.

He’s now becoming a regular for the club’s Under-21s and has played in seven of their last eight fixtures in Premier League 2, scoring in a 5-1 thrashing of Norwich last time out.
A midfield all-rounder, Page is keen to intercept and get stuck in, but can then move the ball into attack, carrying it well with his rangy stride and with the ability to pick out passes.
That win over Norwich was the Under-21s’ first victory in six in Premier League 2 and moved them up to 15th, back into the play-off spots.
The top 16 from the 26-team league will enter an end-of-season play-offs to decide the division’s champion. The format is in its second year with City missing out last season after finishing the regular campaign in 20th spot.
