Glasgow Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara is reportedly on Arsenal’s radar.

Kamara has been linked with a move to Arsenal, with The Daily Mail claiming that the Premier League club have scouted 24-year-old Finland international midfielder this season.
The Gunners released the midfielder in 2017, and since then, he has developed his game, and after a strong spell at Dundee, moved to Rangers in January 2019.
Kamara has established himself as an important player in manager Steven Gerrard’s team, and former Finland manager Paatelainen – who earned 70 caps for his country – has raved about the midfielder and has suggested that he should stay at Rangers.
Paatelainen told The Glasgow Evening Times about Kamara: “He is fantastic and he is someone who can unlock defences and also keep the ball and be solid. He has been very important.
“He is a fantastic character. He is quiet, a model professional, and on the pitch he is very confident and he doesn’t shy away from the responsibility of making things happen.”
Paatelainen added: “That will be down to Rangers because he is contacted to Rangers and obviously Glen and his advisors as well. They know what he will do next.
“But I think where he is at the moment is the best place for him. He is at a big club, he is playing European football and he is a regular player in a starting line-up that is doing very well.”
Back to Arsenal?
Arsenal could do with a player like Kamara in their midfield department, and the Finland international himself may feel that he has unfinished business at the Emirates Stadium.
However, Rangers are having a wonderful season and could win the Scottish Premiership title, and it would be sensible of Kamara to stay at Ibrox and be part of that quest.
