Everton Enter Fight For €30-40 Million Leeds Target: Does He Solve The Toffees’ Attacking Problem?

Wolfsburg originally signed him on loan from Union Saint-Gilloise in 2024 before making the move permanent after he put up ten goals and 12 assists in his first Bundesliga campaign. This season, Amoura has scored eight goals in 26 Bundesliga appearances, racking up 11 goal involvements in total, which works out to 0.56 per 90 minutes.

His non-penalty expected goals (npxG) sit at 0.41 per 90, which actually ranks him better than 89% of other Bundesliga forwards. He also averages 1.26 key passes per game with an xA of 0.17 per 90, putting him ahead of 63 per cent of the players in Germany’s top flight.

Everton’s output up front has been patchy enough this season to make a move for Amoura feel like a necessity rather than just a luxury. Moyes likes to build teams that press and break with pace, and Amoura, a forward who loves playing in open space and creates plenty of chances, suits that style well. Former Wolfsburg coach Ralph Hasenhüttl has previously praised him for his pace and his knack for causing defenders headaches, especially on the road.

Four of his eight Bundesliga goals this season were scored away from home, showing he can produce regardless of the venue. At a price of roughly €30m, Everton could move fast to beat Leeds, who are dealing with their own budget issues after barely avoiding the drop. The fight for his signature is turning into a race against the clock, and Moyes, with a settled squad and the prospect of European football on the horizon, seems to be in the best position to get it done.
