Manchester City seal Divine Mukasa transfer from West Ham United – Fabrizio Romano
Manchester City are set to sign West Ham United wonder Divine Mukasa over the next 48 hours, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Italian journalist has reported that a long-term deal has already been agreed with City continuing to poach some of the best talents for their own academy.
A deal should be formalised before Friday 22 September, with Romano signing off with his famous “here we go” in what could be a blow to the Hammers.
He wrote: “Manchester City poised to sign talented England U17 midfielder Divine Mukasa from West Ham — here we go, confirmed.
“Long-term deal agreed — to be formally sealed in next 48h. City keep going for best talents as their Academy remains crucial part of the club’s project.”
Blow.
This won’t be an immediate blow to the club, but in the future, we could really start to see Mukasa take things by storm with Manchester City.
Of course, we will not know until any of that happens, but Pep Guardiola and his team are starting to just take the brightest talents around with nothing much clubs can do.
When City call with their wealth and silverware, none of these young players around the county will be saying no, that is just a fact that clubs have to get used to.
This should be finalised and announced quite quickly, although with the Europa League kicking off and then a big clash with Liverpool, it should go under the radar.
It is already time to move on, with thankfully one of the brightest academies around at Rush Green still shining brightly despite these distractions.
Hopefully, there will be a decent fee to not rub salt into the wounds now and down the line.
In other West Ham news, the club are increasingly unlikely to sign a player to a new deal amid developments within the squad.
