Alex Iwobi says player Leeds United sold for £8.4m is the most underrated he’s ever played with

Leeds United have had many sales over the years, which have hindered them but also helped them.

The money they amassed from the last transfer window was pivotal in getting Leeds aligned with PSR concerns.

Now it has opened many doors for the Whites to spend well this summer, with £100m+ available to Daniel Farke.

The sales of Georginio Rutter and Archie Gray helped Leeds to pick themselves back up after playoff heartbreak.

But one other sale might not have needed to be made, and according to Alex Iwobi, he’s very underrated for his worth.

Alex Iwobi says former Leeds United star Glen Kamara is the most underrated

Glen Kamara departed the Whites for £8.4m after just one season after joining from Rangers the summer before.

He impressed under Farke, and if a Premier League place was waiting, the midfielder could’ve stayed, but instead opted for a move to Rennes.

But his move didn’t pan out, and Kamara was linked with a Premier League move, but instead chose to join Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia.

It was a short tenure in Yorkshire, but he flourished and brought reason as to why Iwobi thinks he’s the most underrated player he’s played with after their time at Arsenal.

“Glen Kamara. Baller,” Iwobi said to the Inside Scoop.

“When I go power league, he’s the first person I want on my team.”

Kamara would be a brilliant signing for Leeds this summer

The Finland international has had quite a topsy-turvy few years moving between three clubs.

But his Leeds stint showed that he was above Championship level, and why Kamara was labelled a ‘terrific’ player.

His departure was unfortunate, but now back in the Premier League, Leeds could do with someone of his credentials after his only season at Elland Road.

Farke will want midfield improvements, but the only thing standing in their way is Kamara’s wage demands, with a move from Saudi Arabia no doubt proving costly.

It’s certainly an option the 49ers can lean on if he becomes available, and after Leeds didn’t want to sell Kamara, they’d be open for a return.
