Manchester City complete the signing of England Under-17 international Divine Mukasa on a long-term contract.

Manchester City have completed the signing of England Under-17 international Divine Mukasa.

The 16-year-old is understood to have penned a long-term contract with the Citizens after leaving West Ham United earlier this summer.

Mukasa spent 10 years within West Ham's academy and made 10 appearances for the club's Under-18s team in the Premier League 2 last season, scoring once and providing one assist.

Man City have allegedly fended off competition from the likes of Newcastle United and Rangers to win the race for Mukasa's signature.

Mukasa has taken to social media to confirm his move to the Citizens, posting an image on Instagram with the caption: "Go time".

The versatile attacker is the second West Ham youngster to join the treble winners this summer after defender Jamal Baptiste, who joined City on a free transfer earlier this month and has has since joined Belgian outfit Lommel on loan.

Mukasa is expected to link up with Man City's Under-18 or Under-21s side, who are the reigning champions of the Premier League National and Premier League 2 respectively.
