West Bromwich Albion sign versatile attacker

Senegal international Diomansy Kamara spent part of last season on loan at Portsmouth.

West Brom have signed the player for 1.5m pounds from Modena.

Word is Portsmouth used a get-out clause in the transfer which meant he returns to Modena, minus the 1.5m remaining balance of his transfer being paid. Albion moved in with remaining money to secure the transfer.

Rather surprisingly, Portsmouth didn’t pay the rest and secure the player for such a modest amount. I don’t really understand it.

Kamara adds width and pace, creates more opportunities for others than he can score goals himself, but that’s not such a bad thing.

Kamara becomes West Bromwich coach Bryan Robson's fourth signing of the summer following the purchases of Liverpool goalkeeper Chris Kirkland, central midfielder Darren Carter from Birmingham and Steve Watson from Everton on a free transfer.
