West Ham teenager is so good that David Moyes can sell key man and not sign a replacement this summer.
David Moyes has a lot of work to do in the transfer market in the summer transfer window, with numerous additions required if West Ham are to be competitive on all fronts going forward.
The Hammers need to sign a couple of central midfielders, a centre-back and a winger at the very least in my opinion.
However, one position where we are fairly comfortable is the centre-forward department.
Should Michail Antonio leave though – as is being reported, Moyes may be forced into the market to sign another striker. Or will he?

Divin Mubama, 18, is an elite centre-forward in the making, and he proved his first-team credentials against Tottenham out in Australia today.
He looked incredibly sharp during our friendly win over Tottenham today and his movement was absolutely terrific.
Most importantly though, he is an incredibly hard worker – a prerequisite for any forward who plays in a Moyes side.
Divin Mubama’s finishing is superb as well. Check out this neat little glancing header that put us 2-0 up against Spurs today:
The sky is the limit for Mubama as far as I’m concerned. Last season, he won the award for the best young player at the club (WHUFC.com). And now it’s time for him to take the next step.
David Moyes has a simple decision to make in my opinion – sell Antonio and promote the 18-year-old West Ham starlet as one of his first-team strikers.
He has already had plenty of experience playing at senior level, and after watching him today, he is undoubtedly ready for Premier League football next season.
It will be incredibly exciting to watch Mubama develop and improve over the next few years. The upcoming season will be a hugely important one for him, and allowing Antonio to leave could well be exactly what the 18-year-old needs.
