Sources: Brentford ready bid for Norwich City star Abu Kamara
Brentford have a concrete interest in signing Norwich City striker Abu Kamara, sources have told Football Insider.
Kamara, 19, is firmly on the radar of the London outfit after breaking into the Championship club’s team at the end of last season.
Brentford have been keeping tabs on Kamara and they are weighing up a bid for the teenager as they see him as a potential star in the making.
The super-quick forward made his senior debut off the bench against Sheffield United in April and went on to make two further appearances as a substitute.
Kamara was promoted to David Wagner’s first-team plans after starring for the club’s Under-21s with 13 goals and two assists in just 15 games in Premier League 2.
His current contract at Carrow Road runs until 2024 and includes the option of a further 12-month extension.

As quoted by the Daily Mail after the ban was announced (19 May), Bees boss Frank insisted Toney’s future is with Brentford despite his lengthy ban.
