Leeds United are also offering the Algerian a potential landing spot in England, with a believed £26m asking price on his head.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has demanded more from Everton’s strikers and Amoura is a player who could certainly offer something different.

Mohamed Amoura would offer Everton lightning pace

Although Barry is no slouch, Beto is by no means the quickest striker Everton have ever had starting up front.

Able of playing on the left wing, African football expert Abdelkrim Bira has claimed Amoura is more than capable of playing in England.

“He is a remarkable player who thrives in open spaces, with his greatest strength being his ability to attack from deep using his tremendous speed,” Bira said.

“I can also confirm that the attacker Mohamed Amoura is capable of shining with any team if he changes his environment. I’m talking here about the big clubs in the Spanish Liga and even clubs in the Premier League; he is capable of establishing himself there.”

Amoura has scored eight goals and provided four assists in the Bundesliga this season.

Although Everton are trying to sign Jack Grealish, a versatile forward like Amoura could appeal to Moyes.
