Lille rival Ipswich in race to sign Manchester City’s Divin Mubama | OneFootball

Lille OSC are looking to reconstruct their forward area this summer. Jonathan David has already confirmed his departure from the club, Chuba Akpom is expected to return to parent club Ajax following the expiry of his loan, and Edon Zhegrova is also expected to depart.

Lille may, therefore, be in the market for two centre-forwards this summer. According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, LOSC hold a very strong interest in Manchester City centre-forward Divin Mubama (20). The England youth international joined Manchester City from West Ham United last summer but has found game time hard to come by. Mubama has made just one appearance in the Premier League, although he did start and score in his only FA Cup appearance.

However, Lille may face competition if they wish to sign Mubama, valued at £10m by his current club. Recently relegated Ipswich Town have also recently made contact with Manchester City to understand the terms for a potential deal.
