Almamy Mathew Fall’s exceptional form this season has made him one of the most sought-after talents in African football.
The 21-year-old striker, who plays for Senegal’s Verts et Blancs de la Médina (ASC Jaraaf), has taken the Senegalese championship by storm, drawing attention from top clubs across Africa and Europe.
Fall’s performances this season have been nothing short of spectacular, earning him a place as the league’s top scorer with 5 goals in just 8 games.
His remarkable rise has caught the eye of several prominent clubs, with Espérance de Tunis among the most interested, according to his agent, Matar Cissé, in an interview with Africafoot.
Cissé revealed that several other African clubs, including Club Africain de Tunis, Raja Casablanca, and Al Hilal Omdurman, have expressed interest, along with a number of European clubs from leagues in France, Croatia, Poland, Turkey, and Belgium.
What makes Fall such a highly coveted player? Cissé describes him as a “complete forward” with an impressive set of skills.
“He’s an outstanding goalscorer, strong with his back to goal, has excellent ball retention, and is technically proficient with both feet and his head,” Cissé noted. “He also possesses a very strong mentality, which makes him stand out.”
Despite the growing list of suitors, Fall remains focused on his immediate objectives.
His current priority is to help ASC Jaraaf secure the championship title, with the team sitting third in the standings and still in contention for a top-two finish.
“Our goals are numerous,” Fall explained. “We want to win one or more titles with Jaraaf this season, qualify for CHAN with the national team, and, why not, bring back a second consecutive title for Senegal at CHAN.” He also expressed his lifelong dream of one day representing Senegal in the senior national team.
Fall’s talent and ambition have already set the stage for a promising future, with his current contract at Jaraaf running until 2026.
With offers continuing to pour in, the young striker’s next move could shape his career for years to come. His impressive start to the season has certainly ensured that his name will remain on the radar of top clubs worldwide.
