David Moyes is reportedly set to start Divin Mubama tomorrow for the first time in West Ham’s UEFA Europa League clash against Backa Topola.
The 19-year-old attacker made his Premier League debut on the weekend as the teenager impressed from the bench to help the Irons claim a 2-1 win against Burnley at the London Stadium.
Lauded by James Collins as ‘tremendous’, Mubama has been around for quite some time, and according to the Evening Standard, the youngster is due to start tomorrow in Serbia.
With a win tomorrow against Backa Topola enough for West Ham to book their spot in the knockout stage of the Europa League, it could be a huge night for Mubama.
The youngster was dynamic, fierce and looking to impress on Saturday against Burnely, and the versatile forward will want to show his talents in Serbia tomorrow for the Hammers.
Indeed, the Europa League is a competition that has given many English talents their start in their careers, and Mubama could be next for West Ham.

Mubama has got West Ham fans excited after his cameo on the weekend, and the forward will want to continue his good form tomorrow in the Europa League.
Top spot is what the Irons should be aiming for given the revamped nature of the competition, with a playoff and extra games the last thing West Ham wants next year.
And a win tomorrow night will put West Ham in a good position to clinch first place, with a good performance from Mubama also an added bonus.
The teenager has the potential to become a star for the Hammers, and Moyes handing the forward his first start would be quite the achievement for Mubama.
