Kris Boyd has said that reported Arsenal and Leeds United target Glen Kamara would be a hit in the Premier League, as quoted in The Scottish Sun.

The former Rangers striker believes that Kamara, linked with Arsenal and Leeds, “could comfortably play” in the top flight of English football.

Boyd has added that Rangers need to sort out the future of the former Arsenal prospect now.

Arsenal and Leeds United interest

The Daily Mail reported in May that Arsenal are interested in signing Kamara from Rangers in the summer transfer window.

The Gunners have scouted the 25-year-old Finland international midfielder as a potential alternative to Yves Bissouma.

The report added that Rangers will demand at least £10 million for Kamara.

The Daily Mail reported in April interest from Leeds in Kamara.

What Kris Boyd thinks

Boyd wrote in The Scottish Sun: “Kamara was excellent for Rangers last season. He was a real go-to guy in a title-winning team.

“He then followed that up with a strong Euros for Finland, looking right at home at that level.

“Kamara is a talented footballer who could comfortably play in the English Premier League.

“He is worth millions and that’s why it’s important for Rangers to sort out his future.

“Kamara is still under contract for two years so there is a bit of time, but you don’t want uncertainty to drag on.”

Encouraging for Arsenal and Leeds

Kamara was at Arsenal as a youngster, but the 25-year-old failed to break into the first team.

However, the midfielder did well at Dundee before earning the move to Rangers, with whom he won the Scottish Premiership and also reached the Europa League Round of 16 last season.

The Sky Sports pundit’s comments about Kamara are very encouraging for Arsenal and Leeds.

Yes, Arsenal have just signed Albert Sambi Lokonga, but the midfielder is only 21 and is probably one for the future.

Kamara would be able to make an immediate impact at the Emirates Stadium.

Leeds have a strong midfield, but Kamara would enhance it even further and push or even replace Mateusz Klich in the team.
