Marseille join the hunt for Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara

Marseille are showing strong interest in Glen Kamara.

According to the football transfer rumours in British media, Marseille have joined the hunt for Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara.

The 24-year-old has been subject to interest from various European clubs.

Rangers spent 550,000 euros to sign the Finland international from Dundee in the winter of 2019. The 24-year-old has three years left on his current contract which expires in 2023.

The midfielder has banged in one goal in 39 matches for Rangers this term on all fronts.

The 24-year-old is considered to be one of the best midfielders in Finland.

As a member of Finland national football team, Kamara won 19 caps and he scored one goal.

The Finland international will be high in demand this summer, with him having enjoyed a sublime season for Rangers this term.

André Villas-Boas wants to sign a new midfielder and Kamara is one of the names at the top of his wishlist. He is a long term admirer of Kamara and believes he can get the most out of the Finland international.

Marseille are in the market for just a handful of statement signings who can improve the first-team.

Glen Kamara would provide a good variety to Marseille’s midfield.

According to the report, “Interest is growing in Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara. The Finn has been linked with former club Arsenal, though France Football says Marseille are also keen. Marseille would have to sell before making a move due to football’s current perilous financial position. It’s claimed the club estimate Kamara could cost €8million. The former Dundee star has also been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Aston Villa, Brighton and even Juventus in the past.”
