Former Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara has been tipped to attract lots of interest from England ahead of a potential return to the UK.

The Finland international moved to the French league with Rennes from Leeds United in 2024. He hasn't been a regular in Ligue 1, however, playing just 13 times in his first season before a loan to Saudi side Al-Shabab. Back in France, he has been on the pitch for just 24 minutes this season.

The 30-year-old was strongly linked with a return to England over the two previous windows, with clubs like Ipswich Town and Southampton said to be interested.



WIth playing time at a premium at Rennes, that option seems to be back on the table. Leicester have joined Ipswich at the table, but one pundit thinks he should have even more options.

Lee Hendrie told Football League World: “He hasn’t really had much time, as in playing time, so no surprise that the likes of Leicester and Ipswich are looking to maybe bring him in.

“I’m sure there will be a lot more clubs that will be interested in signing, because of what he brings to a side in that role he carries in midfield. I think lots of players who probably aren’t featuring at clubs, this is where it starts to get a little bit hot, obviously little bits of talk and movement, does get ready for that January window.”
