West Ham United are among several Premier League clubs tracking highly rated Senegalese striker Pape Moussa Fall ahead of the summer transfer window, according to multiple reports across Europe. The 21-year-old forward, currently contracted to FC Metz, has impressed during his loan spell with Belgian side RAAL La Louvière, attracting interest from clubs in England, France, Germany, and Belgium.
Standing at an imposing 6ft 6in (2.03m), Fall has emerged as one of the most physically dominant young strikers outside Europe’s top five leagues. Reports claim that West Ham are leading a group of London clubs interested in the Senegalese attacker, with Crystal Palace, Brentford FC, and Fulham FC also monitoring his situation closely.
Fall’s breakthrough season in Belgium has been the key driver behind the growing attention. During his loan stint at RAAL La Louvière, he reportedly scored between 13 and 14 goals in all competitions, while also contributing assists and becoming a major aerial threat. His combination of height, strength, and finishing ability has made him a difficult player for defenders to handle.
The striker began his development in Senegal with the renowned Generation Foot academy before moving to Belgium with RFC Seraing. After an impressive spell there, he joined FC Metz in 2024 and remains under contract until June 2029.
Despite his long-term deal, Metz are reportedly undecided on whether to keep Fall as part of their future plans or cash in this summer while his value is rising. Current estimates place his market valuation around €6 million (£5.2m/$7m), a figure that could prove attractive to Premier League clubs seeking young attacking depth with long-term upside.
For West Ham, the interest makes strategic sense. The Hammers have struggled for consistency in attack in recent seasons and are believed to be searching for a younger, more physical profile up front. Fall’s aerial ability and penalty-box presence could offer something different to their current attacking options, especially in a league where physicality remains crucial.
However, competition for his signature is intensifying. Clubs such as LOSC Lille, FC Lorient, VfB Stuttgart, 1. FSV Mainz 05, Club Brugge KV, and RSC Anderlecht have also been linked with the player.
With the summer window approaching, Fall is quickly becoming one of the more intriguing under-the-radar striker prospects in Europe. Whether he ends up in the Premier League or continues his development elsewhere, the coming months could define the next major step in his career.
