Manchester City is backing 17-year-old Divine Mukasa to shine after taking him on their trip to Italy for a friendly against Palermo.
The young attacking midfielder, once part of West Ham’s setup, has caught attention from European giants Ajax and Bayern Munich, but the Premier League champions are keeping him close.
Transfer news reporter Fabrizio Romano revealed the club has complete trust in Mukasa’s talent and future, a show of belief that could shape his career. Signed for free in summer 2023, the teenager has already delivered eye-catching numbers. Last season, Mukasa netted 17 goals and created 25 assists in 41 matches, displaying sharp vision and composure beyond his years.
Born in England to a Lithuanian mother and Ugandan father, Mukasa is eligible for three national teams but has so far represented England at youth level. Mukasa marked his first England goal in an U-16 friendly against Scotland on February 23, 2023, helping secure a 3–0 win.
