Among the selection of young players that Manchester City sent out on loan for the 2026-27 season, Divine Mukasa joined West Ham. Mukasa joined the Hammers on a season-long loan. The young attacking midfielder had made three appearances for Nuno Espirito Santo's side before West Ham's Championship fixture against Wolves last night at the London Stadium. By the time that match ended, Mukasa had exploded into life as he scored a spectacular brace to help his team pick up a valuable 4-2 win over Wolves.
West Ham picked up three precious points against Wolverhampton with a 4-2 win at the London Stadium last night. The Hammers weren't at their best, but they came away from the match with a precious three points. Divine Mukasa was the star of the show for West Ham as his brace and overall performance helped inspire his team to victory.
Divine Mukasa opened the scoring for West Ham in the 33rd minute of last night's match. His first goal can only be described as a wonder strike. Mukasa received possession around 25 yards out from goal. He took two touches to steady himself to shoot. Mukasa unleashed an absolute rocket with his right foot which thundered in off the cross bar to give Wolves keeper José St no hope of making a save. Divine Mukasa's goal was one which fully displayed his undoubted talent and poise.
Divine Mukasa would add his second goal of the night in the 53rd minute. Mukasa received the ball just inside the Wolves penalty. He cut inside onto his left foot and his shot took a deflection before hitting the back of the net. Mukasa's second goal of last night's match was a fitting reward for a fine overall display from him.
West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo was thrilled with Divine Mukasa's all-round display against Wolves. The West Ham manager was thrilled with Mukasa's work out of possession, his passing and the positions he took up in midfield. He explained after Mukasa starred at the London Stadium last night: "I'm delighted, not only for the goals but the way he played, the positions he took in the middle of the park. He is a young player with a lot of things to improve but I'm delighted to have him."
