Arsenal confirms Osman Kamara joins Blackburn Rovers

Arsenal have now come out and announced that Osman Kamara has joined Championship side Blackburn Rovers in a permanent transfer, after the decision was made to allow him to leave the club this Winter deadline day.

Having initially started out in Sunday League for Senrab FC, Kamara was picked up by Arsenal in the summer of 2014 and was at the Emirates for over 10 years as he looked for a way into that Gunners first team.

ARSENAL posted on the club website: ‘The 19-year-old forward joined us in May 2014 and went on to sign his first professional contract with the club in June 2024.

‘Osman has made a total of 77 appearances for our Academy between under-18 and under-21 level, scoring 21 goals and assisting five times.

‘London-born Osman has represented Sierra Leone at youth level, making his debut in the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations. With three appearances and an assist at the tournament, Osman helped his nation reach the quarter-finals.

‘We thank Osman for his contribution to the club during his time with us and wish him all the best for his next chapter with Blackburn Rovers.

And after sealing his move to Blackburn he believes his grounding with the north Londoners will stand him in good stead for his next challenge at Ewood Park: “I joined ARSENAL when I was nine years old and have been there throughout, playing Under-21s and improving each season,” he explained.

“Being around their first team and seeing their qualities, you know where you’ve got to get to to be a top player.

“Seeing that has only given me the motivation to get better and improve.”
