Manchester City and West Ham United have reportedly agreed a deal that would see Divin Mubama join the Premier League champions.
A product of West Ham's academy, Mubama made his Hammers debut in November 2022 but left the club after his contract expired in the summer.
Despite being a free agent, West Ham were still entitled to a compensation package, which has now been agreed according to Fabrizio Romano,
The 19-year-old joins the Etihad Stadium after a compensation deal worth £1.2million was agreed between the two clubs.
It has been reported that a medical has been scheduled at City for Mubama, who is close to signing a long-term contract with the Blues.
City are believed to see a bright future for Mubama and have reportedly 'hijacked' talks that have taken place between the striker and several clubs.
Ligue 1 side Lyon and Portuguese club Famalicao were among the clubs said to be interested, while EFL Championship side Sunderland had been linked with his signature in the past.
Although details of Mubama's role at City have yet to be finalised, the London-born gem is expected to miss out on Pep Guardiola's first-team squad this season.

Instead, the teenager is likely to take up a position in City's elite development squad, with talks of a possible loan move elsewhere next season.
That's not to say City aren't active in what remains of this season's transfer window, with the Premier League champions looking for new additions.
Guardiola was asked about possible City transfers ahead of Sunday's Premier League opener against Chelsea, and the City boss replied: “Maybe, maybe not! We'll see. I'm really happy with the squad we have.
“I know the mood is: 'We have to sign! We have to sign!' We'll see.”
