Divin Mubama was the West Ham player to keep anꦬ eye on, having turned out for Declan Rice’s senior side already this season.

The 18-year-old has even scored for the senior side in the Europa Conferenc☂e League this season against AEK Larnaca.

Declan Rice replied to Mubama after West 🌃Ham’s win and said: “No stopping you this season.”

Mubama before that he can go to West Ha🌺m captain Rice f🌠or advice if he needs it.

“I think me and Dec, we have a close relat൩ionship in terms of that, I can go to him and spea🐭k to him about stuff,” .

The teenage forward has a chance to break into the first-teꦏam soon af𝕴ter a prolific season at youth level.

M🔴ichail Antonio hasn’t been in the best form this season, although he 𒊎has improved recently.

Gianlucaꦜ Scamacca’s now injured, and his relationship with the club doesn’t appear to be in a good place.

West Ham also signed Danny Ings in January, but he too has a poor inj💝ury record.

All of these factors could see Mubama being called upon by D🦹avid Moyes 🐭again before the end of the season.
