Leicester's striker woes? Pep says Divine Mukasa is the answer!
3 Feb
Summary
- Divine Mukasa joins Leicester City before the transfer deadline.
- Mukasa, 18, has scored 16 goals in youth football.
- Guardiola praised Mukasa's readiness for senior football.
As the 7pm transfer deadline approaches, Leicester City anticipates the arrival of Divine Mukasa from Manchester City, potentially ending a turbulent period. Mukasa, an 18-year-old attacking midfielder, is celebrated for his versatility and goal-scoring ability, having netted 16 goals in youth football. Pep Guardiola described him as having a 'prolific edge' and being ready for senior competition.
Mukasa's capacity to operate effectively as a striker, as noted by Guardiola, provides Leicester with a much-needed offensive threat. This signing comes at a critical time, with injuries to key players like Jordan James and a general lack of clinical finishing from other forwards. Mukasa's recent hat-trick in the UEFA Youth League further highlights his potential to ignite Leicester's season.
