Stoke City are exploring a loan move for Manchester City’s rising star Divin Mubama, who impressed with 17 goals in 13 Premier League 2 games last season. With Ipswich Town also in the hunt for the 20-year-old striker, the Potters face stiff competition. Mubama, who joined City from West Ham last summer, has made only two senior appearances but scored on his debut under Pep Guardiola. FLW’s Sam Harrison believes the potential deal could shake up Stoke’s forward line, especially with young talents like Emre Tezgel and Nathan Lowe waiting in the wings. Drawing comparisons to Tom Cannon’s successful loan spell, Harrison suggests Stoke could benefit from repeating a similar formula—if the financials work out.

Sunderland’s promotion to the Premier League has triggered a cascade of financial commitments, beginning with a €500,000 bonus payment to French club Sochaux as part of the deal for Eliezer Mayenda. Signed in the summer of 2023, Mayenda was viewed as a high-potential talent plucked from a financially stricken Sochaux side. Though his first season in England was quiet, the young forward emerged as a key figure in Sunderland’s successful promotion push, cementing his place in the club’s future plans. With a 20% sell-on clause also in Sochaux’s favor, the French club stands to benefit further if Mayenda’s trajectory continues upward.
