Wolves and Lyon showing interest in Union St Gilloise’s Algerian star

HLN are reporting that Mohamed Amoura is attracting interest from Wolves and Lyon. The sides from the English Premier League and Ligue 1 have been impressed with what they have seen from the striker so far this season. However, Union St Gilloise have already said they are not looking to let anyone leave in January as they look to secure a first title since the 1935.

The 23-year-old cost the Brussels club just €4m in the summer from Swiss side Lugano. However, his exploits in the Belgian Pro League this season means that the players valuation will be far higher for those wanting to prise him away from the league leaders. So far this season the Algerian has scored an incredible 13 league goals in 15 matches, with 15 in 22 in all competitions. During his time with Lugano he managed a total of 17 goals in 66 games, a number he will surely surpass this season alone.

Amoura is also in with a chance of joining up with the Algeria squad for the upcoming AFCON. So far he has played 20 times for the Fennec Foxes, scoring nine goals. A good tournament this January could see his price tag increase even more.
