A 22-year-old Senegalese centre-forward, Pape Moussa Fall already has 5 goals and 2 assists in Ligue 2 with En Avant Guingamp. His start to the season is attracting interest from Bundesliga clubs, ahead of the trip to Sochaux.
In an En Avant Guingamp shirt, Pape Moussa Fall is enjoying a remarkable start to the season. According to AfricaFoot, this 22-year-old Senegalese centre-forward has established himself as one of the most prolific and physical forwards in France this season. He has also been included in the Senegal senior national team squad for the latest international fixtures.
His imposing frame (1.93 m) is catching the eye of observers. Despite fierce competition in the Lions of Teranga attack, his rapid progress has been praised by the Senegalese technical staff. Trained in Senegal before climbing the ladder in Europe, he is under contract with the Breton club until June 2028.
A rare target-man profile
In the Guingamp attack, observers highlight an athletic dimension that offers a rare target-man profile, capable of unlocking very deep-lying defences. That profile is already reflected in solid statistics: 5 goals and 2 assists since the start of the 2026-2027 league campaign.
Trained in Senegal before climbing the ladder in Europe, the forward is now attracting the attention of several top-flight sides. His physical target-man profile has notably drawn interest from Bundesliga clubs, who are fond of this type of player.
Progress praised by the staff
Despite fierce competition in the Lions of Teranga attack, the player’s rapid progress has been praised by the Senegalese technical staff. Bréhima Diakité, an analyst and journalist for AfricaFoot, says: “His first steps with the national team are already promising, given that this group already includes quality forwards, and breaking into such an offensively packed group at 22 shows how meteoric his rise has been.”
This recognition comes at a time when competition in the national team remains strong, in a group where quality forwards are not in short supply.
A date at Sochaux
En Avant Guingamp travel to FC Sochaux this October 2026 weekend for matchday 9 of Ligue 2. A chance for Pape Moussa Fall to continue his remarkable start to the season.
Under contract until June 2028, the Senegalese forward will be playing for a club sitting in the top third of the Ligue 2 table and targeting automatic promotion to the top flight.
