Battle for the two-metre goalscorer: Galatasaray joins the race for Senegalese striker
Istanbul giants Galatasaray have joined the list of European clubs interested in signing 22-year-old Senegalese striker Pape Moussa Fall from French side Metz.
Details: The imposing forward’s impressive scoring record has sparked a major stir in the transfer market. Alongside the Turkish powerhouse, German club Mainz, Belgian side Club Brugge, as well as French clubs Lille and Lorient, have all expressed serious interest in the striker, hoping to bolster their attacking lines with the promising goalscorer in the upcoming transfer window.
The extensive list of suitors is the result of the striker’s explosive start to life in France’s Ligue 2. Dominant in aerial duels, tenacious in physical battles and ice-cold inside the opposition penalty area, the African forward has instantly become Metz’s main attacking outlet, forcing the club’s executives to prepare for tough negotiations with potential buyers.
It is worth noting that Pape Moussa Fall has posted phenomenal numbers this campaign, scoring seven goals in his first eight league appearances. The Pikine-born forward has already made his debut for the Senegal national team, while his rapid progress and extraordinary physical profile have turned him into one of the most enticing prospects on the European transfer market.
