West Ham And Arsenal On Alert As Marseille Defender Turns Down New Contract

West Ham and Arsenal are both keeping an eye on Marseille defender Boubacar Kamara’s contract situation, according to Le Quotidien Du Foot.

The French news outlet reports that the 19-year-old has turned down an extension, and it could lead to the player being sold this summer.

Kamara’s current deal expires at the end of the season, and the Hammers may be considering an offer in January when he can sign a pre-contract agreement.

In addition to West Ham and the Gunners, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig are also monitoring the teenager’s contract talks.



Kamara established himself as a regular first-team player last campaign, making 36 appearances in all competitions for Marseille.

The Frenchman generally plays as a centre-back but can also be utilised as a left-back. He has yet to be given a senior cap for France but did feature at the Under 20 World Cup back in May, with his side making it to the last 16 of the tournament.
