Portsmouth FC 'considering bid' to sign ex-Norwich City winger Abu Kamara from Hull City

Hull City winger Abu Kamara is reportedly in the sights of his former club Portsmouth

Hull City winger Abu Kamara is reportedly being considered as a potential transfer target by his former club Portsmouth.

The 22-year-old spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Fratton Park from Norwich City, helping Pompey clinch the League One title and proving popular with supporters.

His reward for a stellar season in the third tier was a permanent move to Hull, who handed the former England Under-20s international a four-year deal.

It has not quite worked out for Kamara at the MKM Stadium and he was loaned out to Spanish outfit Getafe during the last summer window.

Abu Kamara linked with Portsmouth return

Hull sealed promotion to the Premier League in his absence and although he is due back for pre-season, there are doubts over his future.

According to Hull Live, Portsmouth are considering making a move to take Kamara back to Fratton Park for a second spell.

The Championship club are said to be long-term admirers of the wideman, who they tried to sign ahead of Hull back in two years ago.

While an agreement is not thought to have been reached, discussions between Hull and Portsmouth over a deal for Kamara are reportedly ongoing.

For Hull, a clearing of the decks will not only help them stay on the right side of financial regulations, it will free up squad space for new arrivals.

Newly-promoted clubs have to show ambition in the transfer market in order to survive, something the Tigers hierarchy will be acutely aware of.

Kamara has made 40 appearances across his two years in East Yorkshire, registering five goals and three assists.

A scintillating season in Spain would have perhaps offered him a reprieve at his parent club, but he was hampered by injury and managed just 13 appearances across all competitions for the La Liga club.
