Sunderland move for Hammers contract rebel

Sunderland’s reported interest in West Ham striker Divin Mubama reflects their urgent need to strengthen their forward line, especially with Mubama set to become a free agent at the end of the season.

The potential move underscores Sunderland’s efforts to address their goal-scoring struggles, with Mubama seen as a valuable addition to bolster their attacking options.

Mubama’s limited opportunities at West Ham under David Moyes present Sunderland with an opportunity to secure his services and provide him with a platform to showcase his talent. The positive relationship between Sunderland and West Ham, evidenced by previous signings from the London club, could facilitate negotiations for Mubama’s transfer.

Sunderland’s reliance on winger Jack Clarke for goals highlights the need for reinforcements in the striker department, especially with traditional number nines failing to deliver consistently. The potential acquisition of Mubama could inject much-needed firepower into Sunderland’s attack and enhance their prospects of mounting a playoff challenge.

However, competition for Mubama’s signature is expected, with West Ham also reportedly interested in Sunderland’s Clarke. The upcoming transfer window promises to be an intriguing period for both clubs as they look to strengthen their squads for the challenges ahead.
