Alpha Touré could experience a pivotal moment in his young career during this winter transfer window. The FC Metz midfielder is attracting interest from a Premier League club, and a move to England is no longer out of the question.

Signed in the summer of 2024 from the Génération Foot Academy, the young Senegalese player has gradually established himself in the Metz squad. At just 19 years old, he is gaining consistency and confidence, making numerous appearances in the garnet jersey. His performances have not gone unnoticed by foreign scouts.

Under contract with FC Metz until June 2028, Alpha Touré is reportedly being closely monitored by West Ham, the club where El Hadji Malick Diouf plays. The Hammers have scouted the player several times in recent months and are said to be impressed by his profile as a left-footed defensive midfielder, capable of contributing impact and quality to the build-up play.

According to several sources, the London club, which could let Brazilian Lucas Paqueta leave, is considering making an offer of around €10 million to try and convince Metz's management to sell their player. This proposal could give the FC Metz directors pause for thought, even though they remain committed to their young talent.

This season, Alpha Touré has already played 18 matches in all competitions for Metz. This remarkable progress confirms his potential and has naturally attracted interest from other clubs. It remains to be seen whether FC Metz will agree to part ways with one of its most promising players so soon.
