Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

B. Kamara is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Aston Villa, rated 72.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 51st of 134 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (41.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kamara.

Judged on this season alone, Kamara graded 29 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 28 of the 28 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 3 assists and 3.999 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 29 → 29). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, top 40% of the 28 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 26 Kamara is in his prime years, and a market index of 87.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 98.4/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 72.8, Kamara carries the 11th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League (top 40%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
