Boubacar Kamara

Kamara's 2024/25 season was disrupted by a long-term knee injury that forced him to miss the start of the campaign, limiting his ability to build momentum in midfield. When fit, he remains one of Villa's most important ball winners and a key shield for the defensive line. With a full preseason ahead of 2025/26, he'll be hungry to reassert himself into an every-day role that saw him start the final eight matches last season. While good for defensive stats like tackles and interceptions, his upside is capped playing as the deepest player in Villa's midfield.
