Premier League giants Manchester City are on the verge of completing a notable signing, as they have managed to separate themselves from the pack of contenders by intercepting the transfer of 19-year-old striker Mubama, according to the latest news from renowned transfer expert Romano. Previously, Ligue 1 rivals Lyon and Portugal's Familiaris Consortium had expressed interest in the young striker and held in-depth negotiations, but ultimately failed to get their way.
The main reason why Manchester City is so interested in Mubama is because they believe that the young player has great potential and fits the team's strategy of developing young local players. Although Mubama has yet to shine in the professional field, City believe that through their professional youth training system and scientific training methods, Mubama is expected to grow rapidly in the next few years and become an important part of the team's front line.
Notably, Mubama left West Ham United this summer after his contract with the team expired. Last season, his performance at West Ham United was not exactly eye-catching, but he still showed his talent and potential in his limited appearances. He made a total of 12 appearances for the team in all competitions, including one start, and these experiences have undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for his future career.
For Mbama, joining Manchester City is undoubtedly an important turning point in his career. He will receive more rigorous and systematic training here, and play alongside many world-class players, which will undoubtedly play a huge role in his growth and progress. However, according to reports, Mbama may not get too many chances in City's first team immediately this season, and he may be sent out on loan to other teams in order to gain more game experience.
