Blackburn Rovers Complete Permanent Signing of Arsenal Prospect Osman Kamara

The 19-year-old winger signs a two-and-a-half-year contract following a successful U21 trial.

Overview

  • Arsenal and Blackburn confirmed the transfer on February 2, with Rovers stating the deal runs to June 2028 with an option for a further year.
  • Kamara announced over the weekend that he was leaving Arsenal after 10 years at the club.
  • He featured as a trialist for Blackburn’s U21s against Birmingham City U21s, coming on at half-time and scoring four minutes later.
  • The move comes after regular action with Arsenal’s U21s but no first-team appearances under Mikel Arteta.
  • Rovers characterized the acquisition as primarily an U21 addition, with any senior involvement to be evaluated under the club’s next first-team manager following today’s departure.
