Glen Kamara has left Rangers to join Leeds United on a permanent deal.

The Finland international star has signed a four-year contract at Elland Road for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £5.5m.

The sale represents a significant profit for the Ibrox club, who paid just £50,000 to take Kamara to Govan from Dundee in 2019. Kamara was a key player under former manager Steven Gerrard but has not been part of the first-team picture since Michael Beale took the helm in November 2022.

It became increasingly apparent in recent weeks that a departure for the 27-year-old was on the cards, with Leeds' interest known since earlier this summer. And the transfer has now reached completion, with Rangers posting a farewell message to Kamara on their official website.

A club statement said: "Rangers Football Club can today confirm the departure of Glen Kamara to Leeds United for an undisclosed fee.

"The midfielder, who joined the club from Dundee in January 2019, made over 190 appearances across five seasons at Ibrox. 

"Lifting the league title in 2020/21, and the Scottish Cup the following year, Kamara was a big part of those successes in Light Blue, featuring 51 times in the league winning season. 

"A memorable goal in the 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the Europa League in 2021/22 saw the Finland international help Rangers to their first European final since 2008. 

"All at Rangers thank Glen for his time at the club and wish him well for his future career."
