West Ham United drop hint on Divin Mubama future amid away kit launch
West Ham are among the club’s releasing their kits for the new season these days, but perhaps their latest launch revealed more than just the away strip.
Releasing the new retro-looking 2023/24 kit on Twitter, the Hammers featured Emerson, Lucas Paqueta, Pablo Fornals and Nayef Aguerd in its promotion.
But also in the shot is young striker Divin Mubama, who made his debut for the club back in November in a Europa Conference League tie against Romanian side FCSB.
The youngster banged in 27 goals in 39 appearances in all competitions last season, both for the club’s youth sides and the first-team.
But he could now become a regular for the latter given both the current situation regarding West Ham’s attack and the latest kit launch from the club.
Concerning the Hammers frontline, the three senior forwards in Michail Antonio, Gianluca Scamacca and Danny Ings could all leave the London Stadium this summer.
Manager David Moyes would never let all three of them go before the new season gets underway, but he is almost certain to lose at least one, meaning there will be a hole in the final third that will need to be filled.
The manager could, of course, turn to the transfer window, particularly given how there is money to spend after the £105million sale of Declan Rice to Arsenal.
But that money primarily needs to be spent on a Rice replacement, providing further hope for Mubama that a more prominent first-team role could be on the cards next season.
In other West Ham news, an agent has mooted a Hammers move for one Champions League winner, with a deal there to be done.
