Boubacar Kamara, born in France on 23 November 1999 (now 25 years old), currently employs his footballing prowess as a central defensive midfielder for Aston Villa. Measuring 6 feet tall (1.84m) and weighing in at a lean 10 stone 9 pounds (68kg), Kamara donns the number 44 jersey whilst out on the field.
His footballing wit and skill have seen his estimated market value climb to a hefty €38.00m (£32m), as claimed by Transfermarkt. Kamara remains contracted to Aston Villa for another two years and five months, with his present contract due to terminate on the 30th of June 2027.
This talented footballer first aligned himself with the beautiful game back in July 2005, when he joined French Ligue 1 outfit, Marseille, as a trainee. The 2017 to 2018 season marked his debut with Marseille's first team, in which he managed to rack up a commendable six league appearances. His features for the club steadily escalated thereafter, collecting 31 league appearances in the following 2018-2019 season, and finding the back of the net for the first time. Kamara continued to maintain a consistent presence in the French club, concluding his final 2021-2022 season at Marseille with 34 league matches and another goal to his name.
His accomplishments at Marseille clearly didn't go unnoticed, and in June 2022, Kamara journeyed across the Channel, trading in the sun of Southern France for the Premier League grounds of Aston Villa. Kamara hasn't been a stranger to the Aston Villa fanbase since his arrival, featuring in 24 league matches in the 2022-2023 season, which was followed by 20 league appearances in the next. Currently in the throes of the 2024-2025 season, he has already chalked up 15 league appearances for Aston Villa.
His abilities have also been utilised in a variety of other competitions at his current club, including participating in FA Cup 2024 - 2025 and the League Cup 2024 - 2025, both with a single start, as well as starting in four matches in the Conference League during 2023 - 2024. Notably, he made an impressive five starts in the ongoing Champions League 2024 - 2025 season, along with putting in an additional appearance as a substitute.
