Divin Mubama, a youthful striker for West Ham United, is still anticipated to leave London Stadium when his contract expires this summer, according to The Standard.

On May 21, the publication said that Mubama, who played just 75 minutes of league action this season and did not start a single Premier League game, has not progressed with negotiations for a new deal.

It is now as good as confirmed that Mubama will seek a new challenge in the hope of regular first-team football, particularly after the departure of David Moyes in place of Julen Lopetegui.

West Ham United’s striker dilemma

Mubama and West Ham’s seemingly mutual decision looks best suited too all parties, after a promising pre-season was not followed up during the Premier League campaign with the 19-year-old given barely a chance.

It appears the Hammers are also willing to listen to offers for Danny Ings, whilst Michail Antonio, 34, has just a year to run on his contract after a season he personally admitted wasn’t to his own standards.

Jarrod Bowen will always command interest, but as long as the England international is content at London Stadium, the club remain in a strong position with his contract still having a gargantuan six years to run.

Lopetegui will undoubtedly make major squad changes, working with the recruitment team and technical director Tim Steidten to bring in attacking prospects.
