Since being promoted from the second tier of Belgian football a few years ago, Union Saint-Gilloise have been one of the best teams in Belgium, both to watch and from an on-the-field success perspective.
One thing the club owned by Brighton owner Tony Bloom does extremely well is recruit, with Mohamed Amoura another example of the well-run scouting department within the club.
The 23-year-old Algerian forward was signed by Swiss Super League side FC Lugano in the summer for a fee rumoured to be around ???4 million.
Since signing, the Algerian has hit the ground running in Belgium, with nine goals in 11 appearances domestically.
He has started all but one of RUSGs UEFA Europa League group-stage matches.
In contrast, he has started the last three matches domestically, displacing Dennis Eckert Ayensa in the starting XI and beginning to form a partnership with Swedish forward Gustaf Nilsson.
This tactical analysis will be a scout report on Mohamed Amoura.
It will analyse the 23-year-olds strengths, style of play, and potential weaknesses and examine how he has been implemented into Alexander Blessins tactics.

The 23-year-old Algerian has tended to start on the left side of the front two, drifting wide to the left to look to take opposition fullbacks on with his dribbling ability.
