Divin Mubama in Advanced Talks with Manchester City
Manchester City is in advanced negotiations to sign Divin Mubama, a highly-rated former West Ham striker. Mubama, whose contract with West Ham ended in June, is now being pursued by Manchester City. Although he is not currently under contract with West Ham, the club is expected to receive a compensation fee as part of the transfer.
If an agreement is not reached, the transfer may be resolved through arbitration to determine the appropriate development fee. Despite interest from other European clubs, Mubama has expressed a strong desire to join Manchester City.
Should the transfer go through, Mubama is likely to start with Manchester City’s Under-21 squad, with the potential to move into the first team in the future. Mubama has been with West Ham since he was 10 years old, making 18 senior appearances and scoring one goal before his departure.
