The numbers that prove Mohamed Amoura is what Everton are crying out for

New forwards are needed at Everton and Wolfsburg's Mohamed Amoura can be the solution.

Simply signing another tall and physical striker will not ease any struggles for David Moyes' side.

Often there is too much reliability on the likes of Iliman Ndiaye to carry the ball up the pitch.

But Amoura would help ease that burden set upon the Toffees wide players and allow them to be more dangerous in attack.

With relegation at Wolfsburg, Amoura could easily be tempted by a move out of Germany.

At Goodison News, we have relayed new information that Amoura's dream is the Premier League, with Everton very much interested.

Why Mohamed Amoura would be game-changing signing for Everton

Everton can often find themselves struggling to get up the pitch and create opportunities on the counter.

Much of that is down to the lack of help from their strikers, Beto and Thierno Barry.

While they have shown promise in front of goal, they are more natural hold-up forwards rather than strikers that can carry the ball and drive transitions.

But with Amoura, the Algerian would provide them with that added weapon next season.

According to Data.MB, among Bundesliga strikers, the 26-year-old ranks highly in many key transition stats.

Last season, Amoura finished in second for possessions won, third for progressive carries and accelerations, and he also came fifth for dribbles attempted.

Amoura, whose World Cup was curtailed by an injury sustained in Algeria's first game, is an all-action forward who not only finishes chances but is able to create them as well.

It would make Everton a far more dangerous team and a more unpredictable one as well.

With Amoura's ability to drive up the pitch, teams will have to think twice about their defensive structure when attacking Everton's defence.

How much is Amoura worth?

There has been no price touted for Amoura yet amid the links to Merseyside, but there are a couple indicators.

According to Transfermarkt, Amoura is roughly estimated to be valued at £17million.

For a proven striker in one of Europe's top leagues, that is certainly not bad value.

Additionally, with Wolfsburg's relegation, there could be further room to negotiate that price tag down.

Everton have been slow to act this transfer window, so supporters will be eager for them to finally get a deal over the line.

Amoura would be an exciting one to get done.
