Man City striker emerges as target for Ipswich with Kieran McKenna eager to bolster his attacking options as Liam Delap nears Chelsea move

By SIMON JONES

Manchester City striker Divin Mubama is a target for Ipswich Town.

City’s preference is for the 20-year-old to go out on loan though Ipswich are understood to be keen on a permanent transfer.

With Liam Delap heading for Chelsea, Ipswich had asked Chelsea about taking Marc Guiu on loan earlier this month. The Spanish striker is still to be convinced so Ipswich have asked elsewhere with Mubama another option after he finished the season with 15 goals.

Mubama, who joined City after leaving West Ham last year, could yet be involved in City’s World Club Cup plans as they look to include a number of youngsters.

City are also accelerating talks with AC Milan for Tijjan Reijnders and with Lyon for Rayan Cherki with an eye on freshening up their squad for the tournament in USA next month. Their opening game is against Wydad AC on June 18.

However, some players are unsure whether they will be part of the squad yet.

Pep Guardiola is also shuffling his backroom team. While Ben Wilkinson will step up from the U21s for the USA tournament, City are weighing up the merits of other coaching contenders with the likes of Kolo Toure and former Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders in the mix.
