Kamara is a player of interest to Newcastle and Fabrizio Romano reports that preliminary talks have already taken place. However, Premier League sides are not the only ones to express interest, with multiple teams across Europe also weighing up offers.

The 22-year-old was a breakout star when Senegal won the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations and was named in the tournament’s Team of the Tournament and has already represented his country 41 times.
