Rangers star Glen Kamara is amongst the most highly sought after talents at Ibrox with his performances at Euro 2020 said to be turning heads south of the border.
Some may remain sceptical about Glen’s ability down there but one quite remarkable stat proves that not only is Glen a player of huge influence, but his interest from top clubs is completely justified.
In the group stages of this summer’s European Championships, no player completed more interceptions than Finnish midfielder Kamara.
Whilst the Finns soaked up a lot of pressure at the tournament this remains a remarkable statistic given the competition in midfield from some of the biggest names in football.
Kamara’s 10 interceptions were matched with Turkey star Mehmet Zeki Çelik according to data compiled by Squawka.
That’s more than French midfielder and Chelsea star N’Golo Kante or even any one of the Belgian midfield stars – which included Kevin de Bruyne and Axel Witsel – whom Kamara came up against in Finland’s final match.
Rangers fans will be gutted not to be seeing any more of Kamara at Euro 2020 but given the transfer links might be somewhat happy Finland didn’t make the knockout rounds.
Kamara, 25, has been reportedly attracting interest from the likes of Arsenal and Watford as the conversation continues regarding his future.
Whilst stats such as this will have Rangers fans fearing for Kamara’s future, the player’s involvement in a major Ibrox launch will have some holding out for hope he’s going nowhere.
