Rangers have lost their best player after Glen Kamara deal agreed – pundit
Rangers have lost their best player by selling Glen Kamara to Leeds United.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former Celtic striker Frank McAvennie insisted Kamara will be a regular at Elland Road but insisted the Gers were wrong to let him leave.
On 31 August, the Light Blues confirmed that the 27-year-old has joined Leeds on a permanent transfer.
The Finland international joined the Glasgow club from Dundee in 2019 for around £500,000.
The midfielder put pen to paper on a deal running until 2027 for a reported fee of around £5million.
Michael Beale already added Nicolas Raskin and Todd Cantwell to his midfield ranks in the January window and further strengthened with Kieran Dowell this summer.
But McAvennie insisted the Scottish club don’t have an adequate replacement to Kamara.
“It is a wonderful piece of business,” he told Football Insider.
“Kamara is a wonderful player and I do not think they have got players at Rangers who are better than him. They are raving about Cantwell but they were raving about Kamara when he first arrived.
“Something has obviously happened with the manager, maybe he fell out with him the first time when he was a coach and when he came back he pushed him aside.
“I think he will do well down at Leeds and once he establishes himself he will be a regular. It will take a while but once he is up to speed he will get a lot of game time.“
