After links with Liverpool, Arsenal, Wolves and Newcastle United, one of Europe’s hottest strikers has finally announced his next destination.
But it won’t be Anfield. It won’t be the Emirates either. Or Molineux or St James’ Park for that matter.
Instead, a man who ended the 2023/24 campaign with 23 goals and eight assists to his name is looking to follow in the footsteps – and emulate the success of – Kevin de Bruyne, Ivan Perisic, Edin Dzeko, Julian Draxler, Micky van de Ven, Andre Schurrle, Mario Mandzukic and Burnley misfit Wout Weghorst.
If you haven’t worked out yet which club connects all these players – from Manchester City’s Belgian superstar to Tottenham’s jet-heeled centre-half – it’s VFL Wolfsburg.
That is the club Mohamed Amoura will be representing next term, The Guardian reporting that a £14 million deal has been struck to take the former Union Saint-Gilloise talisman to the Bundesliga.
Though, like with De Bruyne, Dzeko and co, Amoura may be only passing through at the Volkswagen Arena. Should he continue in Germany where he left off in Belgium, that Premier League interest will return with a vengeance.
Wolverhampton Wanderers showed ‘concrete interest’ a few months ago, per Het Laaste Nieuws. Amoura’s agent, meanwhile, admits that his client dreams of playing in England.
Comments which will not have gone unnoticed by Arsenal, Newcastle or Liverpool either, the top-flight trio also having been mentioned in conjunction with the 20-time Algeria international.
