Ugandan-English talent Divine Mukasa Signs First Pro Deal with Man City

Manchester City has officially signed one of England’s most exciting young talents, Divine Mukasa, to his first professional contract. Mukasa, who made the move to City from West Ham United a year ago, has quickly established himself as a standout in youth football, winning back-to-back FA Youth Cups—first with West Ham in 2023 and then with Manchester City in 2024.

Standing tall and strong, Mukasa is a left-footer who demonstrates remarkable technical ability. His poise on the ball and vision make him a joy to watch. Known for his clever decision-making and calm demeanor on the pitch, Mukasa’s versatility sets him apart. Though primarily left-footed, he is comfortable using both feet, often taking corners with his right foot, a skill that highlights his polished technique and coordination.

His physical attributes, including a blend of strength, height, and light-footedness, complement his technical prowess. Mukasa’s ability to read the game and execute plays with precision has earned him appearances for England’s U-15, U-17, and U-18 teams. However, he still has the option to represent the senior national teams of England, Uganda, or Lithuania in the future.

This off-season, Mukasa and his family spent 10 days in Uganda, his father’s homeland, further connecting with his heritage.
