Major development in Abu Kamara's Hull City future as player left out of squad

Abu Kamara's move to Portsmouth is edging closer after the Hull City winger was left of the squad for their trip to Germany.

City face Bundesliga giants Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday in their penultimate friendly of the summer, and Kamara was not part of the squad which left Humberside Airport on Friday afternoon.

Kamara is on the cusp of sealing a permanent return to Fratton Park, after the two clubs agreed a fee thought to be in the region of £2.5m, with the 23-year-old London-born winger set to sign a long-term contract with the Blues.

It's expected Kamara will undergo a medical and complete the fomalities of his move over the weekend.

Hull Live reported at the start of the summer that Portsmouth were pushing hard to bring their former loan star back to the club, and discussions had been held over a permanent move.

Charlton Athletic had shown interest but were not able to meet the financial package City wanted for a player they signed from Norwich City on deadline day in the summer of 2024, with the Addicks thought to prefer an initial loan.

Kamara had featured in all three of City's pre-season games, scoring in the opening win over Konyaspor. He spent last season on loan in Spain's La Liga with Getafe, but his campaign was hampered by injury.

Pompey boss John Mousinho has spoken of his desire to bring Kamara back to the South Coast, and now it looks like they will finally be reunited.

Kamara became a firm favourite at Fratton Park after scoring 10 goals and notching up 11 assists in their League One-winning squad.
