West Ham are being linked with a move for Paris FC centre-back Moustapha Mbow, with the Senegalese defender reportedly on the Hammers’ radar ahead of the summer window.
The 26-year-old, who plays as a right-footed centre-back and wears the number 5 shirt at Paris FC, is currently valued at €6.00m on Transfermarkt, a figure which could tempt West Ham as they look to reinforce their defence from the French top flight. The move is being reported as a rumour at this stage, with the probability of any deal described only as “?” in the latest update dated 5 May 2026.
Mbow’s contract situation at Paris FC is unclear, with no expiry date listed, adding to speculation that he could become available on favourable terms or even move on as a potential free agent if an agreement is not reached. Paris FC are currently listed within Ligue 1, and his performances there have drawn growing interest from abroad.
Born in Dakar on 8 March 2000, the 1.92m defender has developed a reputation as a physically imposing presence at the back. A Senegalese national, he has built his career in France and now appears to be attracting attention from the Premier League, with West Ham monitoring opportunities in the French market.
Recent data shows Mbow continuing to feature for Paris FC this season, though detailed statistics and individual match ratings are not provided in the available information. His most recent profile update and transfer rumour entry were both logged on 5 May 2026, underlining how current the links to West Ham are.
With his age profile, height and €6.00m valuation, Mbow would represent a relatively low-risk addition for a Premier League side seeking depth at centre-back. If a move to West Ham were to materialise, it could mark a significant step in his career, offering a platform in England’s top division to enhance his reputation and test his potential at a higher level.
