‘At this moment’ - Rangers manager opens up on future of Leeds United transfer target - YEP 14/8/23

Leeds United are believed to be keen on a deal for the Rangers midfielder as Daniel Farke looks to continue improving his squad.

By Mark Carruthers

Rangers manager Michael Beale has revealed there has been no progress made on the future of Leeds United transfer target Glen Kamara.

The Finland international is believed to be on Daniel Farke’s list of a transfer targets as the Whites boss looks to boost his midfield ranks before the summer transfer window comes to a close early next month. The potential deal could be fast-tracked if Tyler Adams can secure a move away from Elland Road after a potential switch to Chelsea fell through.

Kamara joined the Scottish giants in a cut-price move from Dundee during the January 2019 transfer window and has gone on to make just under 200 appearances for the Ibrox club. The 27-year-old has enjoyed a successful stint on the blue half of Glasgow after helping Rangers claim the Premiership title in 2020 and the Scottish Cup 12 months later.

He was also part of the squad that reached the Europa League Final last season before a penalty shoot-out defeat against German club Eintracht Frankfurt ended any thoughts of further silverware. However, Kamara made just five league starts during the second half of the season and is said to be keen to make a summer move away from Ibrox.

When asked if there was an update on the potential deal, former Queens Park Rangers manager Beale simply said: “There’s nothing in that one at this moment.”

That comes just weeks after Beale confirmed Kamara was the subject of ‘different enquiries’ as he continued to train away from the senior squad at the Ibrox club.

Speaking late last month, he said: “There’s no update on Glen. He was obviously given an extended break at the end of the season due to internationals then he’s had a sickness problem which has run on. He’s training in isolation at the moment, not with the group, trying to get himself up to speed.

“There’s a lot in the background with Glen as well with different enquiries and him talking to different people. So it’s best that he’s to the side of the group. I’ve got no issues with him on a personal level, it’s a conversation we had a good few months ago.”

Wayne Veysey Leeds United could re-sign Jack Clarke this month in a sensational move after the forward rejected a new contract at Sunderland, sources have told Football Insider. Leeds are in the market for a proven forward before the transfer window closes after Crysencio Summerville’s exit and Georginio Rutter’s soon-to-be-completed Brighton move. The west Yorkshire giants have registered an interest in the 23-year-old, but Southampton are also keen on signing him. West Ham had been interested in Clarke back in January but have not followed up on that since then. Clarke graduated from Leeds United’s academy and played for the club until 2019 when he signed for Tottenham Hotspur. The forward is under contract at the Stadium Of Light until 2026. Daniel Farke wants to add a proven forward to his squad in this window after losing two of his most creative sources. Clarke is an experienced winger who could be put straight into the starting lineup and does have the knowledge

Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun
