Divine Mukasa Arrives From Manchester City On Loan
 

We have agreed the loan signing of promising young midfielder Divine Mukasa from Manchester City until the end of the 2025/26 season, subject to league approval.
 

The highly regarded youngster arrives having progressed through academy football at both West Ham United and Manchester City, winning back-to-back FA Youth Cups during the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons.

 

An England youth international, most recently representing the Under-19s, Mukasa has also gained early senior experience. He made his first-team debut for Manchester City in September 2025, starting in a 2-0 Carabao Cup win away to Huddersfield Town, before making his Premier League debut later that year.

 

He told Foxes Hub: “I’m really pleased to be here and grateful for the opportunity. This is a great environment for me to learn, gain experience and continue my development.

 

“I want to work hard every day, take on everything I can from the staff and players around me, and contribute wherever I’m able to help the team.”

Divine will now continue his development with us for the remainder of the campaign and joins a group currently preparing for a trip to Birmingham City in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday 7 February (3:01pm kick-off).

yup. Being lowered down by a crane as we speak,,,

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

He loves a Moussaka apparently 

[EnderbyFox]

Comes highly rated but I hope it doesn't limit Page's play-time too much 

[OntarioFox]

I give it 3 games before Dad calls him Davina McCall during his half-time analysis.

[ALC Fox]

Can't wait to see what this lad can do.

[Ryy]

Will wear 29

[MPH]

This is actually the one I’m most excited about. I think he’ll play higher up than most people realize and we will all be saying that he’s going to be one of the best strikers in the world one day..

Match thread will give 10 mins max to prove himself

Sounds like eventual team would be as below if we haven't got this young striker Richards in. We can't be wanting James and Mukasa to play triangles with Ayew so must be thinking Mukasa will play further up?

He will.

 

Hard to say until you see him step in to the side and actually play some senior football but I sat and watched a fair few highlights of their games yesterday and, being entirely honest, he does look more developed than Page. 

 

He runs everything for their youth team, he's excellent on the ball and looks pretty comfortable at both 10 and 9 although I doubt we'll play him as a striker.

I think he'll play 10, he's our Ramsey replacement. 

 

I'd bet a decent amount of money that when the dust settles in a few weeks time, Mukasa will be rotating at 10 with BDCR, Richards will be warming the bench because he isn't anywhere near ready for the Championship and we've flopped again trying to find a striker and Jordan Ayew will still be starting at 9.

absolute scenes when he's still sat on the bench after five more games of BDCR behind Ayew.

[Richmondfox]

Another young player for Ayew to treat like shit on the pitch and not pass to.

Hopefully he'll be on the pitch instead of Ayew, not with him.

[FosseSpark]

Is this Richards coming then?

Don’t see Aluko playing LB. If he plays I think he has to be on the right side

We can only hope. Who ever is in charge needs to make big decisions instantly and base selections off of how the perform on the pitch not in training. No clean slate rubbish when they can just watch any game. 

King needs to get some balls quickly.

The FA Cup game should be handy for trying out new players/positions/formations

I think it's more Aribo that will be taking Page's minutes away.

Fingers crossed he's the 2026 version of Kevin Campbell all those years ago. No pressure.
