West Ham United over the summer brought back academy prospect Divine Mukasa on loan from Manchester City and so far he has had an impressive stint since returning in a Claret and Blue shirt to which many are suggesting that the Hammers need to buy the midfielder for next season, especially if promotion to the Premier League is achieved.

The Mukasa deal when it occurred happened in a matter of hours and a deal was incredibly simple to conclude as West Ham did NOT include a buy option of any sort, meaning it was a straight loan for a year… but that doesn’t paint the full picture.

West Ham United are now over halfway through their October fixtures, with only two matches remaining this month, both at the London Stadium.

After West Ham’s driving victory against Swansea, the Hammers have risen to 2nd place in the League Table, placing themselves just one point away from Swansea, a gap that could’ve possibly grown to seven points should the victory have swung the other way.

The Hammers have secured back-to-back wins for the first time since early September after a nerve-wracking 1-0 win over Swansea City. After achieving a crucial three points, Nuno’s side now rise to second in the Championship table, being on the same points as Middlesbrough, who dropped points to Cardiff City earlier today, and closing the gap to Swansea themselves, with the difference now just a single point.
