West Ham boss David Moyes says Divin Mubama could see FA Cup action tonight against Derby County.
Moyes was asked about Mubama’s development and if he could feature at Pride Park Stadium, the manager spoke positively about the England U19 international.
“I’d like to have Divin involved if I could,” he told whufc.com. “I’d like to have him around the group. I think he gives us great energy and is a great runner.
“If you’re asking me where I think he is, I think he is still off it a little bit, but if I could get him involved, I certainly would because the biggest thing about him is that he’s got a brilliant attitude. He’s willing to run and work for the team and is a real team player, which I really like.
“We like him and we think he’s got a chance, but it’s probably just a little bit before his time, really, but you’ve seen him in Europe and he came on in a mid-season game against Fulham and he’s done well, so 100 per cent, if we’ve got room for Divin, we’ll try and use him.
“I like him a lot because he’s a boy who reacts like ‘Wow! What a chance I’ve got here!’. He’s grateful, he has great humility in him with the work he wants to do, and at Fulham we asked him to go on and just chase people down and he was unbelievable at it. He nearly got a standing ovation from the West Ham supporters because of his commitment and his effort.
“I’ve included him more and involved him more because he has shown a bit of what we needed and we’ll try and look after him as well.”
