Player to watch – Mohammed Amoura
Promising attacker Mohammed Amoura showcased his burgeoning potential again last weekend when he scored twice in Wolfsburg’s narrow 3-2 defeat at Bayern Munich.

Amoura can add to his reputation
Amoura has scored eight goals and claimed six assists in just 15 starts in the Bundesliga for Wolfsburg since August and the 24-year-old’s performances have put him on the radar of several big-name suitors across Europe.
