Who Is Pape Moussa Fall?
Pape Moussa Fall was born in Pikine and spent his formative years in Senegal, graduating from the youth division at Generation Foot. His path through European football has lacked stability — he moved from RFC Seraing to FC Metz before spending the current season on loan with La Louvière in Belgium. That loan spell has been the clearest evidence of his potential: 14 goals and one assist across 30 appearances in all competitions, a return that has placed him on the radar of multiple clubs across Europe’s top leagues.
Fulham’s Striker Search
Fulham are prioritising a striker signing this summer, driven primarily by uncertainty over Raul Jimenez‘s future at Craven Cottage. The Mexican forward is in the final two months of his contract, and his situation has attracted interest from clubs including Everton. Even if Jimenez stays, the club needs to plan beyond a veteran in the latter stages of his career.
Why Crystal Palace and West Ham Are in the Mix
Crystal Palace‘s interest is straightforward. Jean-Philippe Mateta is expected to leave Selhurst Park this summer, and while the Eagles added Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier this year, a departure at the top of the attacking line makes Fall a logical target.
West Ham‘s pursuit is harder to read. The Hammers brought in Pablo Castellanos and Valentin Castellanos earlier in the year and also have Callum Wilson in the squad. Unless at least one striker departs, the logic behind adding Fall to that group is thin.

Competition Beyond London
Brentford are also expected to pursue the Senegalese striker in the coming months. At the European level, the field includes LOSC Lille, Lorient, FSV Mainz, VfB Stuttgart, Club Brugge, and RSC Anderlecht. Crystal Palace and West Ham are currently considered the front-runners, though the breadth of competition means the deal is far from settled.
