Portsmouth's pursuit of Abu Kamara has hit a roadblock, with the winger's agent reportedly standing in the way of a potential return to Fratton Park. The 23-year-old spent a successful loan spell with Pompey in League One, scoring eight goals and providing 10 assists as they won the title under John Mousinho. However, despite interest from both Portsmouth and Hull City, Kamara's agent may have other plans for his future.
What happened with Kamara at Hull City?
Kamara joined Hull City from Norwich City in 2024 but struggled to make an impact, making just 12 league appearances during a loan spell at Getafe last season. With Hull now in the Premier League, the winger is surplus to requirements, and a move away seems inevitable. Portsmouth and Charlton Athletic have both been linked with Kamara, but his agent's involvement could complicate any potential deal.
Why a return to Portsmouth makes sense
Kamara's best season came during his loan spell at Portsmouth, where he played a key role in their League One title-winning campaign. The familiarity of Fratton Park and the support of the fanbase could help revive his career. However, his agent's reported reluctance to send him back to the South Coast may force Kamara to consider other options.
What comes next for Portsmouth?
Portsmouth finished 18th in the Championship last season with 55 points, 14 wins, 13 draws, and 19 losses. Their recent form was mixed, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five games. As they prepare for the new season, manager John Mousinho will be looking to strengthen his squad, but Kamara's transfer saga adds uncertainty to their plans. Their next fixture is at home against Cardiff on September 5, 2026.
