Michael Ball believes forking out £10million for Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara would prove to be a shrewd piece of business by West Ham United.
The Hammers are looking to bolster their squad ahead of a return to European football, with the east Londoners competing in the Europa League after recording a club-record points tally in the Premier League last season.
Reports suggest West Ham boss David Moyes is poised to make a move for Kamara, who boasts experience in the competition, with The Daily Mail reporting back in May that he’d cost at least £10m.
Do West Ham need Glen Kamara?
Yes
No
Kamara, 25, joined Rangers from Scottish rivals Dundee in 2019.
The Finland international, who represented his country as they made their debut in an international tournament at Euro 2020 this summer, has gone on to make 106 appearances for the Gers and played a key role as Steven Gerrard’s side won the Scottish Premiership title last season.
Ball, who featured for the Ibrox-based club during his playing career, feels Kamara would be a success at the London Stadium if the transfer is finalised.
Speaking exclusively to TIF, he said: “This is a rumour that hasn’t seemed to go away. David Moyes is not daft in the transfer market.
“He does a lot of homework on players. Kamara is an international and £10million for an international is not a lot of money.
“It would be a great move for Glen but a sorry miss for Rangers.”
