Danny Ings has given Divin Mubama a big slap in the face with a ridiculous 30-minute West Ham stroll that will infuriate fans.
West Ham fans have been left reeling after highly-regarded young striker Divin Mubama refused to sign a new contract.
Given West Ham’s profligacy and awful record of signing strikers, the news is hugely concerning.
It was confirmed to Hammers News by the top source at West Ham that Mubama’s agent was making ‘mad demands’.
West Ham fans left hoping for Divin intervention from Moyesiah after highly-rated striker’s contract snub
Word is the 19-year-old is fed up with the lack of chances he has been given by David Moyes despite West Ham’s clear issues up front.
During the recent narrow win at League Two Lincoln – West Ham fans made their feelings clear to Moyes about Mubama by aiming a chant at the Hammers boss
After deciding against – or failing to – replace Gianluca Scamacca, who scored his fifth goal in six starts for Atalanta last night, Mubama likely expected more opportunities.

They have not been forthcoming. Instead misfiring Michail Antonio and complete flop Danny Ings have been getting games ahead of Mubama.
If Moyes was looking to change Mubama’s mind over his new deal, it didn’t show against Brentford.
Because he was once again snubbed in favour of Ings, who came on for the last 30 minutes with the Hammers in the process of throwing away a lead to fall to a 3-2 defeat.
And Ings gave Mubama a big slap in the face with a ridiculous 30-minute West Ham stroll that will infuriate fans.
A penny for Mubama’s thoughts after Ings stroll
If you thought Antonio’s performance was bad. What until you get a load of Ings’ key statistics.
As an undoubtedly frustrated Mubama watched on, Ings had just five touches in 30 minutes.
He ended the match with no passes completed.
The West Ham striker had no shots.
As a substitute, you would expect Ings to at least be putting himself about and trying to make an impact. But Ings won zero duels during his time on the pitch.
And the cherry on the cake? He picked up a booking too.
A stroll for the ages. And Moyes didn’t think West Ham needed to sign a striker?
