I can't quite work out how taking someones legs in the box is an auto red for denying a scoring opportunity but using your hand to push the ball off their head in a similar place isn't.
Leeds were regularly targeting balls down his side and clearly identified his defensive frailties . He has no positional sense. If someone is offering £25m (and I very much doubt it) I would bite their hand off.
Not sure it's been mentioned but credit must go to Amavi for making the mistake at the end and recovering in time to get a touch on the shot that hit the bar. make the error and clean up your mess. He should be applauded for that at least.

His defensive game can be coached, but he has all the natural talent to succeed.
A few years ago Walker when he was with us and Rose when he was at Sunderland had loads of defensive flaws but bags of ability. They've both improved defensively since then. Amavi fits into the same category, he may not be worth £25m now but he will, given time.
