Superstar brother drops three-word hint that £2.5m player could soon follow him to Sunderland…

Sunderland are now the favourites to sign released West Ham United striker Divin Mubama, as per GIVEMESPORT.

Sunderland are still in need of a striker after spending all of last season and the backend of the season before with no natural goalscorer through the middle.

The Black Cats recently appointed Regis Le Bris as their new head coach and with that put an end to the head coach saga. However, attention has soon turned to who they will bring in to strengthen their squad this summer.

Mubama, 19, played five games for West Ham’s U21 last season and scored two league goals. He also featured in the Premier League on five occasions.

The English prospect is an exciting talent and has registered several impressive campaigns for the Hammers in their youth squads. He has scored 30 goals and assisted four in 47 U18 league outings and has a record of 18 goal contributions in 30 U21 league games.

He was recently released from West Ham making him a free agent and he has plenty of interest this summer.

However, according to the latest update despite interest from France and Germany, Sunderland are the club in the driving seat at the moment as they look to bolster their forward line.
