Official | OGC Nice sign VfL Wolfsburg winger Mohamed Amoura on loan

OGC Nice have signed Algeria international winger Mohamed Amoura (26) from 2. Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg on loan with an option to buy, both clubs have announced. Amoura’s buy option to make his switch permanent is reportedly worth €20m. The 47-capped Algeria international will bring much needed depth to Olivier Pantaloni’s attacking options following Mohamed-Ali Cho’s exit to promoted Premier League side Hull City. Amoura will wear OGC Nice’s No. 9 jersey. He could make his Nice debut at home against Le Mans FC on Saturday.

OGC Nice have reportedly beaten the likes of Lyon, Rennes and Udinese in the race to sign Amoura. The Algeria international would complement Eintracht Frankfurt loanee Elye Wahi in Pantaloni’s attacking set-up. Amoura rose to prominence two years ago with a breakthrough campaign with Union Royale Saint-Gilloise, with which he scored 22 goals in 45 games.
