Divin Mubama undergoes Man City medical today after bid accepted – sources
Divin Mubama is undergoing his medical at Man City on Wednesday and the transfer should be completed on Thursday, sources have told Football Insider.
The 19-year-old was offered new terms by West Ham but became a free agent after his contract at the London Stadium expired at the end of June.
Football Insider revealed (August 19) that Man City have agreed personal terms with West Ham striker Divin Mubama after hijacking his move to Portugal.
Man City have also agreed a fee of around £1.5 million with West Ham as compensation for the young striker.
Sources say Mubama is regarded as a top talent for the future, but he is unlikely to be thrown into the first-team squad straight away following the sale of Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid.
City are also working on a signing a senior striker and are working through a shortlist that includes Celtic’s Kyogo Furuhashi.
