West Ham United are considering a move for FC Metz striker Habib Diallo, who is 31, as manager Nuno Espírito Santo seeks a reliable forward during a period of changes to the club's attack. Following Metz's relegation to Ligue 2, West Ham are exploring a potential deal at a reduced price for the Senegalese international, who has 40 caps and has scored nine goals for his country. The forward joined Metz in August 2025 and, according to Transfermarkt, has a current market value of €4.00m. He is reportedly seeking a move to English football. However, Metz has negotiating leverage because Diallo's contract is valid until 2028. Diallo is one of several forwards being considered by West Ham, as the club is also interested in players such as Haji Wright and Eliezer Mayenda.
