West Ham United are set to confirm yet another signing after progressing with another deal before the Charlton game on Saturday at the London Stadium.
Today, a breakthrough has been reached for playmaker Divine Mukasa to join the Hammers on loan from Manchester City for a season, with no option or obligation to buy. Divine Mukasa spent over ten years in the West Ham academy before departing, and since joining Manchester City, he's been able to develop further and is now set to join the Hammers on loan.
Divine Mukasa went on loan to Leicester City last season, joining the Foxes in January, where he made 15 appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists.
Nuno has been looking for a playmaker, and with West Ham's limited funds and wanting to spend elsewhere, that is why a loan deal has been stuck for the 18-year-old.
A medical has been set for today, with an expected official announcement tonight or Friday morning.
Seeing as Divine Mukasa is just 18, this still allows the Hammers to pursue another loan deal if they would like to for other positions, as a club is only allowed to have two players aged 23 or over on loan.

0n loan and under 23 yrs as you say Louis no further restrictions absorbed by the club ,must have shown some potential in the past for city to have signed him ,so wish him well and hope he gets a fair chance to play
