West Ham are reportedly one of four English clubs in the race to sign Moustapha Mbow from Paris FC this summer.

Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Fulham have all also shown interest in welcoming the centre-back to the Premier League.

Here is everything we know about reports linking Mbow to West Ham ahead of the next transfer window.

How would you feel about more EFL signings at West Ham?

West Ham face Premier League competition for Moustapha Mbow

Mbow has been an integral part of Paris FC’s team for several years, helping them win promotion from Ligue 2 last season.

The 26-year-old has continued his impressive form in the 2025/26 campaign, playing 30 out of 32 Ligue 1 matches so far.

His performances have even earned international recognition, receiving a call-up to the Senegal squad last September.

Therefore, if Mbow were to join West Ham, he would link up with international teammate El Hadji Malick Diouf.

However, the Hammers will need to see off competition from a whole host of clubs to reunite the Senegalese teammates.

Defending Premier League champions Liverpool have enquired about signing the defender this summer.

Meanwhile, according to French outlet RMC, West Ham, Palace and Fulham have all made “significant” offers for Mbow.

Newly promoted Ipswich Town have also shortlisted the defender, along with Lille and several teams in Germany.

The Senegalese international is under contract in Paris until 2028 and is thought to be settled at the club.

This suggests it would take some convincing for West Ham or another club to reach an agreement in the coming months. 

The Hammers’ chances would also likely depend on staying in the Premier League, with so many rivals for his signature.

Hopefully, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side can both complete the great escape and add the talented centre-back to their ranks.
