Divine Mukasa, a midfielder for West Ham United and the England under-17 team, is expected to sign with Manchester City within the next 48 hours, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Premier League champions are continuing their hiring drive outside of the summer transfer season in order to fill their growing youth system with the best players available right now.
Tuesday afternoon at the City Football Academy, Manchester City’s under-19 team defeated Crvena zvezda’s under-19 team by a commanding score of 5-2 to open their UEFA Youth League campaign.
While Kane Taylor also put in a standout individual effort with a hat-trick of assists for his teammates, Emilio Lawrence stole the show with two goals and an assist.
fresh information regarding academy transfers has now surfaced, revealing a fresh name who appears set to join Manchester City’s consistently outstanding junior team.
Fabrizio Romano, a transfer insider, claims that Manchester City is now “poised to sign” Divine Mukasa, a midfielder for the England under-17 squad, from West Ham after reaching an agreement on a long-term contract with both the player and his team.
According to Romano, an agreement will be formally sealed in the following 48 hours.
Fabrizio Romano said in his assessment that “(Manchester) City keep going for the best talents as their Academy remains a crucial part of the club’s project.”
The upcoming acquisition of Mukasa from West Ham continues the path taken by Jamal Baptise earlier this summer. The central defender, born in 2003, joined the east Manchester project from the youth program at the London Stadium.
Divine Mukasa and Jamal Baptise are not the only young players that have transferred from West Ham to Manchester City; Josh Wilson-Esbrand did so first in more recent years, in 2019.
