West Ham is now “confident” in completing a striker deal, according to a source close to the owners, who makes a significant new Divin Mubama claim.

Following the publication of a significant new Divin Mubama claim by a source close to the owners, West Ham is now “confident” of completing a striker deal.

Most West Ham supporters will respond in the same way when asked what the team’s top priority should be ahead of the January transfer window.

When the winter transfer window opens in five weeks, West Ham will need to sign a new striker, despite Divin Mubama’s best efforts to persuade them otherwise.

Gianluca Scamacca was sold to Atalanta in the summer, and the Hammers were unable to find a replacement.

The injuries to Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen have now revealed West Ham’s deficiency in depth in what is possibly the most crucial area of the team.

Even if the Hammers do sign a new forward in the winter transfer window, Mubama will have plenty of room to play because Antonio and Danny Ings are almost done with the team.
If they can persuade the youthful striker to stay, that is.

There are many rumors stating that Mubama is not willing to sign a new contract with West Ham because he is angry about not getting more chances under David Moyes.

When Antonio and Bowen were not available, Ings was once again picked over Mubama. And West Ham supporters blasted Moyes for that choice.

But Mubama was given thirty minutes, and he was instrumental in the Hammers’ strategy to change the course of the game.
