Leeds United are looking to sign Glen Kamara from Rangers amid claims that personal terms have been agreed.
Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara seems to be emerging as Leeds United target this summer.
That is according to the Yorkshire Evening Post, who claim that Leeds have been ‘assessing’ a move to sign Kamara.
It’s suggested that Leeds have been looking into signing Kamara in recent weeks to bolster their midfield options.
Last Word on Sports even go as far as saying that Kamara has now agreed personal terms to join Leeds.
That would suggest that Leeds are moving forward with a pursuit of Kamara in a potential return to English football for the Finland International.
Glen Kamara should leave Rangers this summer
Kamara came up in the Arsenal ranks having been signed from Southend United as a teenager.
First-team chances weren’t forthcoming at Arsenal though and he left for Dundee in 2017, impressing enough to land a January 2019 move to Rangers.
Kamara has racked up nearly 200 appearances for Rangers, helping them win a league title and reach a Europa League final along the way.
This feels like the right time to go though with Kamara not exactly a key player under Michael Beale towards the end of last season.
Rangers seem to be going in a different direction in midfield having already signed Nicolas Raskin in January and Kieran Dowell this summer.
Add in the expected arrival of Jose Cifuentes and Kamara risks being stuck on the Rangers bench moving forward.
Heading to Leeds would give Kamara a much-needed fresh start and allow him to play a part in a promotion push next season.
Leeds United need midfield additions
Kamara would also help Leeds solve a problem area.
Marc Roca has joined Real Betis on loan whilst Weston McKennie won’t be returning after a disappointing loan spell.
Tyler Adams could receive Premier League interest and Adam Forshaw was released this summer.
Forshaw could yet return to Leeds but the Whites need to beef up their midfield options this summer.
Leeds are set to snap up Chelsea talent Ethan Ampadu, most likely with the idea of playing in as a holding midfielder.
Kamara could be viewed as Ampadu’s partner in midfield, offering ball-carrying abilities whilst Ampadu protects the defence in a new-look Leeds engine room.
