Divin Mubama has been pictured partaking in first-team training ahead of the West Ham vs Chelsea clash on Saturday.

West Ham United desperately need a positive result against Chelsea this weekend, in order to move away from relegation trouble.

David Moyes has somewhat of a mini injury crisis on his hands at the London Stadium, with Maxwel Cornet, Thilo Kehrer and Kurt Zouma definitely out of this weekend’s clash.

Gianluca Scamacca is another big doubt, although Danny Ings has made a quick return from his spell on the sidelines with his knee injury.

Michail Antonio is our only fully fit striker, so could Moyes turn to one of the club’s best youth players when he names his match-day squad?

The 18-year-old is a truly unbelievable talent, and his emergence this season has made it very clear why the Hammers allowed Sonny Perkins to leave, rather than cave in to his demands.

Mubama has already featured for the first-team in the Europa Conference League this season. He scored a goal, despite what UEFA may say, and put in a really impressive all-round performance.

Perhaps the most impressive thing about the teenage striker is his humbleness, and willingness to work hard, despite the fact that he’s already played first-team minutes – something highlighted by under-21 boss Mark Robson.

He is seemingly improving with every week that passes. It actually seems like he’s almost too advanced to be playing under-18 and under-21 football.

The club’s official website recently described Mubama as ‘outstanding’.

Divin Mubama was pictured during West Ham training in the lead up to the Blues clash. The 18-year-old was snapped alongside his under-21 teammate Keenan Appiah-Forson in photo number seven on the club’s official website.

And it seems as though Mubama could be set for a place on the bench this weekend against Chelsea.

Much will depend on whether Scamacca is fit enough to be included in the squad on Saturday.

Moyes had two goalkeepers on the bench for our game against Newcastle on Saturday, so surely he could drop one of those for Mubama, even if Scamacca does make the squad!
