Dundee’s Glen Kamara is a man in demand with League One challengers Sunderland and Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen reportedly interested.
All eyes were on Glen Kamara as Finland faced off against Greece in the UEFA Nations League on Monday night. And the 22-year-old midfielder certainly stepped up to the plate.
Kamara was the Man of the Match, clinching a 2-0 win with a clinical late finish and earning plenty of praise from Finland fans on Twitter to boot.
As a result, Sunderland’s chances of bringing the former Arsenal youngster to the Stadium of Light in January might just have got a whole lot slimmer.
The Mail reported at the weekend that Jack Ross was keen to sign the highly-rated Dundee midfielder, a player he knows well from his time in Scotland. But Sunderland are now facing a January battle with one of the biggest teams in German football.
That is according to the Express (17 October, page 49). It is claimed that none other than Bayer Leverkusen sent scouts to watch Kamara impress against Greece.
The 2002 Champions League runners-up have endured a difficult start to the Bundesliga season, winning just two of their seven games to ramp up the pressure on head coach Heiko Herrlich.
But you could hardly blame Kamara for favouring a move to the Bay Arena over joining League One challengers Sunderland.
