Turkish outlet Sozcu claim Glen Kamara has demanded Rangers sell him this summer amid reports that Leeds are among his suitors this summer – but, we will have to move quickly, with Besiktas supposedly tabling a £4.7m offer.

Kamara, 27, has spent the last four and a half years at Ibrox. Bought by Steven Gerrard, he has gone on to help them win the league under Gerrard unbeaten, and reach the Europa League final under boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

It seems this summer, despite having two years left on his Rangers deal, will be his last at Ibrox. Dean Jones has told Give Me Sport that Leeds and Southampton are among his admirers. A move to Europe is also a possibility for him.

That is because a report from Sozcu claims that he has demanded Rangers sell him in the coming weeks. The story states that Turkish giants Besiktas have made an offer to sign him, worth £4.7m. The Herald say Rangers want £5m.

Kamara demands to leave Rangers amid reports Leeds are among suitors

Leeds desperately need midfield additions. The club have already lost Weston McKennie, while Adam Forshaw is yet to sign a deal put to him from the club. Marc Roca is expected to complete a loan move to Real Betis this week.

That would leave Leeds with just Tyler Adams – who is also expected to be sold in the coming weeks – and talented youngsters Darko Gyabi and Archie Gray. Lew Bate and Jamie Shackleton have returned from loan spells at Leeds.

All four featured throughout Wednesday’s defeat to Manchester United. Those four have an average age of less than 20 and yet, they were the only central midfield options Daniel Farke could call on. Kamara is really needed.
