Arsenal are one of four Premier League sides interested in signing Glen Kamara from Rangers during the January transfer window, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

Kamara has been outstanding for the Gers. He initially agreed to join the club on a pre-contract deal last January, but the Scottish Premiership side then made the move to bring him in immediately that same month.

And that move has proved to be a masterstroke. The Finland international has been excellent for Steven Gerrard’s side and now looks to be back to his best after a short blip earlier in the campaign.

Unsurprisingly, his form has not gone unnoticed. The Daily Mail reports that the Gunners are monitoring the 24-year-old, while Aston Villa, Norwich City and Southampton also have Kamara on their radar.

Arsenal’s interest is particularly intriguing. Kamara began his professional career at the Emirates and made one first-team appearance. He was released by the Gunners in 2017.

Interestingly, another report from the Daily Mail claims that Arsenal have watched Kamara in Rangers’s last six games.

You could understand why Kamara’s Premier League admirers are looking at a move this month. Kamara will certainly command a hefty fee. But that may be nothing compared to what clubs could have to pay in the summer.

The midfielder played an important role in his country’s run to Euro 2020 qualification. And a fantastic tournament for the former Dundee man will see his value rocket.

Tempting Rangers to sell however, is going to be a huge ask.
