Glen Kamara arrives in Leeds to undergo his medical ahead of £6m transfer from Rangers as the Championship club brace for a busy end to the transfer window

Finnish midfielder Glen Kamara has arrived in Leeds to complete his medical at the Championship club ahead of his transfer from Rangers.

The Scottish giants accepted a £6million offer from Leeds for the 27-year-old who is now set to return to England after initially rising through the youth ranks at Arsenal.

He spent four years at Ibrox after joining from Dundee in 2019 and has impressed enough to earn a permanent transfer back south of the border.

His time in Glasgow saw the defensive midfielder make 193 first-team appearances and helped the team lift the Scottish Premiership, Scottish Cup and reach the Europa League final last year. 

Kamara is expected to be one of five signings Leeds hope to bring in before the transfer window closes on Friday evening.

His imminent arrival hands Leeds manager Daniel Farke a timely boost following the club’s mixed start to the new Championship season.

Two draws, one win and one defeat have seen Leeds stumble their way to mid-table in the Championship standings after four matches.

Kamara’s arrival provides Leeds with a much-needed boost after a difficult start to the new season

Kamara is set to follow Illia Gruev, who signed from Werder Bremen on Thursday afternoon and has penned a four-year deal with the former Premier League outfit.

The Bulgarian international helped Bremen win promotion back to the German top-flight and he will be aiming to do the same in England this season.

Talks are also ongoing with Roma for Norwegian winger Ola Solbakken ahead of a potential deadline day switch to Elland Road.

Leeds could also allow some players to leave on the final day of the transfer window with Birmingham City among the clubs keen to secure a loan deal for full-back Cody Drameh.
