Algeria: Amoura enters the big leagues

Mohamed Amoura is solidifying his status among Africa's football elite in 2025. The Algerian forward stands on the podium of the most decisive African players competing in Europe's top 5 leagues, boasting 33 direct goal contributions this year. He trails just behind Mohamed Salah (34) and Serhou Guirassy (41), who tops the leaderboard.

These figures reflect an impressive consistency, both for club and country. During the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, Amoura was simply unstoppable with Algeria, finishing as the top scorer with 10 goals in 10 matches, ahead of Victor Osimhen and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
