Kamara becomes sporting director Rich Hughes’ 10th signing of the transfer window as the Blues look to put themselves in the best position to be a competitive side in this year’s Championship. Welcoming the defensive midfielder to PO4, Blues boss John Mousinho said: ‘He’s an extremely promising young player who arrives with plenty of pedigree, having been at Dortmund and PSG before that.

‘We think he’s ready for Championship football and can really kick-start his career with us, so we’re delighted to have him here.

‘He’s a powerful and combative midfielder who can handle the ball well – he’s right up there in terms of his athleticism and game understanding.

 ‘It’s a brave step for Abdoulaye to come over and look to prove himself in England and I’m excited to start working with him.’

Kamara is a graduate of the Paris Saint-Germain academy and moved up three age groups to appear for their under-19 side. He made the switch to Dortmund in the summer of 2021 and has featured for the German giants at under-23 level.
