Boubacar Kamara on Aston Villa wish list

Marseille midfielder Boubacar Kamara has emerged as a potential summer target for Villa.

Head coach Steven Gerrard, chief executive Christian Purslow and technical director Johan Lange were in France on Wednesday night to watch the 22-year-old in action against Nantes.

Kamara, strongly linked with Wolves last summer, is set to become a free agent when his contract expires in June and is being courted by several Premier League clubs.

Gerrard is in the market for a defensive-minded midfielder who can provide his team with a better balance.

Leeds United’s Kalvin Phillips is another target while Brighton’s Yves Bissouma, who was the subject of a failed £25million January bid, is also on the radar.

Villa travel to Leicester in the Premier League tomorrow.
