Scout report

Top-tier performerCentral midfielder

B. Kamara is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Aston Villa, rated 83.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 80th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (82.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kamara.

Judged on this season alone, Kamara graded 58 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 3 assists and 3.999 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 24 → 58). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 84, top 26% of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 26 Kamara is in his prime years, and a market index of 115 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kamara missed 20 games through injury (knee, hamstring, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 18 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 82.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 98.4/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 83.5, Kamara carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League (top 26%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
