Manchester City striker Divin Mubama will get his first taste of regular senior football after he joined Championship side Stoke City on a season-long loan.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old joined City’s academy from West Ham for \u00a32million last summer and scored on his senior debut in the 8-0 FA Cup<\/a> third-round win against Salford City at the Etihad. Mubama also made his Premier League<\/a> debut for the club when he came off the bench for the final 27 minutes of the 6-0 win at Ipswich.<\/p>\n

Mubama enjoyed an excellent season in Premier League 2, scoring 10 goals and creating four more in nine appearances in the league phase before then hitting six goals in four games in the play-offs as the Blues won the title.<\/p>\n

The youngster was keen to get the move sorted in time to spend a full pre-season with the Potters.<\/p>\n

\u201cStoke City is a massive club, I\u2019m excited to be here and determined to work hard, score goals and do everything I can to help the team,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to me that we\u2019ve got it done early so I can focus on getting a full pre-season, learning what the manager wants and how the team plays, and making connections with my fellow players.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur fans can expect me to be very hungry, both for goals and for hard work, playing with huge determination to repay the faith people have shown in me.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me as a striker, of course it\u2019s about scoring, but it\u2019s also about playing with intensity, getting the crowd going and leading from the front. That\u2019s what the club\u2019s fans can expect from me, and I can\u2019t wait to get going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mubama follows in the footsteps of Liam Delap, who also made his first loan move from City’s academy to lead the line for Stoke City, although he scored just three goals in 22 games in the Championship.<\/p>\n

Stoke sporting director Jonathan Walters added: “Having already been aware of Divin\u2019s talent and ability, as soon as we knew about his availability, we wanted to act swiftly and decisively to bring him to Stoke City.<\/p>\n
