Crystal Palace and West Ham United are interested in signing Senegalese international attacker Pape Moussa Fall.
The 21-year-old enjoyed a successful spell at RAAL La Louvière on loan from Metz. He could be a quality long-term signing for the London club. According to TEAMtalk, he has scored 13 goals this season and could cost around €6 million to sign.
West Ham and Crystal Palace certainly have the financial wherewithal to sign him, but it remains to be seen whether a deal can be struck.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League would be an exciting one for African players. He is a young player with a lot of potential and playing regular football in England will help him reach his full potential. He is a towering forward with an imposing physique. He has the physicality to be suited to English football and could develop into a key player for either club.
West Ham are fighting to remain in the Premier League. If they slump, they will have a hard time recruiting quality players. We need to be safe before signing a 21-year-old.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are aiming to win the UEFA Europa Conference League. They could play in the Europa League next season, which would make them an attractive destination.
They need more quality in their attacking line and the 21-year-old could be ideal for them. It remains to be seen whether Metz is prepared to accept his resignation. After an impressive loan spell, they may decide to keep him at the club.
For a player of his talent and potential, this seems like a pretty fair rating. At that price, he could be a great bargain.
