Rangers manager Michael Beale has delivered an update on midfielder Glen Kamara’s future amid links to Leeds United this summer.
As quoted by the Daily Record on Saturday (12 August, Page 61), Beale confirmed that the Finland international is the one to definitely leave Ibrox
this summer.
Last Word on Sports reported on 17 July that the 27-year-old had already agreed personal terms with Leeds and a move to Elland Road was on the
cards.
Beale said, “It’s clear Glen Kamara is the player who’s definitely going to move on in this window.”
Why the delay?
Kamara has been training away from the squad all summer so it’s pretty evident that he wants to leave and the manager sees no way back for him in
the team.
Beale’s even gone on record to state that he’s definitely going to leave and those are strong words and mean that he’s serious about his exit.
If personal terms are agreed, it’s all down to the fee and Leeds know that they’re seemingly the only club holding a realistic interest in signing him.
They desperately need a new midfielder as even though Archie Gray is very good for his age, he’s still raw and cannot be relied on to start week in and
week out.
Leeds cannot delay these deals any further as that’s only going to cost them in the long run.
Kamara’s also not match fit so the sooner he’s signed the better it is, as Daniel Farke can ask him to play for the reserves and start including him in
the matchday squad to slowly get him back to full fitness.
In other Leeds United news, the club could look to rekindle their interest in a Golden Boot winner who Daniel Farke will love and it will take
£15million to get the deal done.

Tyler Adams completed media duties as a Chelsea player before his transfer from Leeds United collapsed, according to Simon
Phillips.
Writing on his Substack account (12 August), the journalist reported that there is a lot of confusion surrounding why the American midfielder’s £20m
move to Stamford Bridge collapsed.
Some reports suggest injuries, but Phillips says he has been told Adams isn’t injured and actually did media for Sky Sports before the deal fell
through and the 24-year-old midfielder was sent back to Elland Road.
“Now this one I am not overly clear on. But as said above, I’ve always had the impression from solid sources that he was being pursued really as an
alternative to Lavia, even though we might not even get Lavia still,” he wrote.
“There are other versions of this story around, including one from The Daily Mail today suggesting that Chelsea pulled out because medical tests
showed he might be out for a further four months injured.
“But then we heard last week from reliable reports that he wasn’t even injured. So this one has me completely miffed and to be honest, leaves me not
being able to report anything solid on it.
“So that too could also be a genuine reason as to why Chelsea pulled on it, and to be honest, is probably the most likely.”
Players doing media duties for clubs before a deal is totally signed off isn’t that abnormal, as Leeds fans will remember from Daniel James.
But reporting that Adams isn’t actually injured anymore and this is a big conspiracy as he doesn’t want to play for Leeds will surely not go down well
at all.
The USMNT captain is one of the few players who have maintained their reputation with the fans after relegation last season, and many are under the
impression that he has been very professional about a potential transfer away this summer.
But if this is in fact true and Adams is simply just not playing for the club despite being fit, then hopefully he moves on as soon as possible because we
don’t need or want players like that at this club.
Obviously it’s hearsay right now, and Daniel Farke says he is injured until September too, but it’s definitely something to keep an eye on.
