Hammer Mubama told what must come next

Divin Mubama could hardly have done more since making it into the pre-season elevens with three goals from three games.

But that’s exactly what the West Ham backroom team are looking for was they head towards the start of the Premier League season.

We saw a few of the club’s international players back against Dagenham&Redbridge but once again Divin made sure he caught the eye with another goal and energetic performance.

David Moyes singled him out for special praise after Australia explaining that he gave time team something very different and today Billy McKinlay explained what needs to come next from the teenager who has impressed everybody since he arrived in the team.

He just has to keep doing it having made such an impact – he definitely looks a player who can save us a great deal of money in the transfer window this summer.

Talking to the club’s official website after the game he said: “I think Divin has given us something to think about.

The gaffer said in Australia that he was really pleased with his contribution in the two games, so he’s had good exposure.

What we always say is: ‘You’ve got your opportunity and it’s really important that you take it because you don’t get too many’. He’s been really impressive for the first couple of weeks of pre-season, so it’s really important that he keeps it going.

Listen, it’s a simple equation that if you play well then you’re looking to get to the top of the pecking order and you’ll be in. Whether you’re 18 or 28, it doesn’t really matter.

Divin has got to continue his good performances that he’s had over the last two or three games, and Michail Antonio will be back in a few days after his break and ready to go and we’ll take it from there.”
