Liverpool and Arsenal are said to have made enquiries over a transfer for Mohamed Amoura and have been joined by Nottingham Forest in the hunt for the Wolfsburg forward ahead of the summer
Liverpool, Arsenal and Nottingham Forest are all queuing up to try and sign a player labelled ‘the new Riyad Mahrez’. Wolfsburg star Mohamed Amoura has drawn a number of admirers for his performances in the Bundesliga this season.
On loan from Union Saint-Gilloise, Amoura has produced 10 goals and nine assists in 27 Bundesliga outings in 2024/25. Fresh back from an international break where he bagged at hat-trick for Algeria over Mozambique, interest in the player appears to be intensifying.
Amoura is set to join Wolfsburg permanently this summer as an obligation to buy was placed in his loan deal. The German side secured the forward’s signature for close to £14m and could look to cash in for a fee that more than doubles that price.
Liverpool are already said to have been in talks with the player’s camp and the 24-year-old even scored against the Reds in December 2023. They are set to face competition from Premier League rivals with Arsenal and Nottingham Forest also making their enquiries, per L’Equipe.

Amoura will be under contract with Wolfsburg until June 2028, with an optional additional year, and the side remain in contention for European football. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s team are set to demand £29.3m-£33.5m for their star.
Hasenhuttl has previously described his charge as both a ‘ball of energy’ and a ‘player who runs on electric batteries’ this season. Forest and Arsenal are both looking to add firepower to their forward line, while Liverpool may yet have to replace Mohamed Salah’s goals.
The Reds have seen just one addition to their squad under Arne Slot in Federico Chiesa and could yet find themselves losing Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk. Their Dutch coach has already suggested a busier summer should be anticipated after avoiding transfers in January.
“Liverpool should always be competing for a league title, we should always be competing for the Champions League. I’m hoping I will be able to keep the club at that level,” Slot said earlier this year.
“I know people sometimes question this because they haven’t seen us doing a lot in the transfer market in the summer and now in the winter as well. There’s a reason for that – because we’re happy with the squad.
“But I do know we’re definitely working on strengthening in the summer.”
Nottingham Forest and Arsenal have both failed to land new strikers in recent windows, and will hope to land extra firepower in the summer. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side in particular may want more depth as they appear set for Champions League qualification.
