Yet, devastatingly, there’s been next to no evidence to suggest that the popular 20-year-old will be spotted in a Pompey shirt again next term.
In fact, everything points to a likely Carrow Road stay that will no doubt disappoint members of the Fratton faithful and the host of other clubs credited with an interest in the recently-capped England Under-20 international - including Anderlecht, Brentford, Leicester, Stoke and German Bundesliga side Freiburg.
And the latest telling factor is Kamara’s appearance in the marketing campaign to promote Norwich’s new kit ahead of their latest Championship term.

This week saw Pompey turn to Marlon Pack, Conor Shaughnessy and Christian Saydee - three players with big roles to play at Fratton Park next season - to help launch the availability of the Blues’ next home kit. And it’s safe to assume Kamara is held in similar esteem at Carrow Road as he was used to promote Norwich’ latest Joma Sports home shirt.
For anyone of a Blues persuasion, seeing the League One title-winner in canary yellow will be hard to fathom, especially as we all have such vivid memories still of his impressive performances in a Pompey shirt.
Yet it’s something we all might have to get used to, with Kamara - who’s already started pre-season with Johannes Hoff Thorup troops - appearing to be part of Norwich’s plans moving forward.
