Baye Djiby Fall (born 20 April 1985 in Thiès) is a Senegalese footballer who plays as a striker for Odense Boldklub on loan from Lokomotiv Moscow.

Career

He joined OB from Emirati club Al Ain FC in January 2008. Before Al Ain, Fall played for Danish Randers FC and French AS Vitré.[1] He was recently named the best player in the Danish Superliga.[1] On March 13, 2009, the Senegalese top striker left Danish side OB and moved to Russian club FC Lokomotiv Moscow.[2]

Molde FK confirmed that they had signed Fall on a loan until 30 August 2010, with an option to buy.[3] He was considered a replacement for Mame Biram Diouf.[4] He went on to become top scorer of Tippeligaen (the Norwegian top division) for the 2010 season,[5] despite a lower half finish for Molde. In the 2011 UEFA Europa League, he scored with his final move in the 93rd minute to dump Fulham F.C. out of the competition following a 2-2 draw.
