Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing 24-year-old Algerian international Mohamed Amoura from Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg this summer.
According to a report by French outlet L’Equipe, Mohamed Amoura might leave VfL Wolfsburg soon after completing a permanent move to the Bundesliga club in the summer transfer window. Arsenal and Liverpool are keen on signing the Algerian international, with the two Premier League bigwigs enquiring about his situation. Meanwhile, Die Wolfe will demand around €35-40 million to part ways with him.
Mohamed Amoura and his exploits in Germany
Mohamed Amoura has established himself as one of the most promising young attacking prospects in the Bundesliga since joining VfL Wolfsburg from Union Saint-Gilloise last summer. Die Wolfe signed the Tahir native on loan and will complete a permanent move in a few months.
The 24-year-old has contributed to 19 goals in 24 Bundesliga appearances thus far this term, finding the back of the net ten times and providing nine assists. Meanwhile, Amoura’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe.
Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are keen on signing the Algerian international, with Arsenal and Liverpool submitting enquiries over a possible move in the summer transfer window. The two English giants also face stiff competition from Nottingham Forest. Meanwhile, Wolfsburg will demand around €35-40 million to part ways with Amoura.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Arsenal’s interest in Mohamed Amoura makes sense. The Gunners are scouring the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window amid Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz’s struggles to remain prolific in the final third. So, several candidates, including Viktor Gyokeres, have emerged on Arsenal’s radar, with the Algerian forward also a viable target.
As for Liverpool, Darwin Nunez will likely depart from Anfield in the summer transfer window after struggling under Arne Slot this season. So, the Reds must dip their toes in the market for a striker, with the VfL Wolfsburg attacker being an option worth considering.
Arsenal and Liverpool should have the funds to afford a deal worth around €35-40 million. However, Nottingham Forest might also have a say in the matter as the 24-year-old Wolfsburg striker gets set to leave the Bundesliga club in the summer transfer window.
