Official Rangers partner in ‘jackpot’ reaction to reported Glen Kamara to Leeds United transfer developments
If Rangers can bank £4million or more to sell Glen Kamara to Leeds United this summer it would represent a “jackpot win” in the view of Four Lads Had A Dream’s Stevie Clifford.
Last Word on Sports reported on Monday (17 July) that the Ibrox midfielder has agreed personal terms with the English Championship side over a possible transfer.
The 4th Official also provided an update via Patreon the same day suggesting a deal was close and that the fee was expected to start at £4m before add-ons and clauses are included.
Reacting to reported developments towards a Leeds United deal Four Lads wrote on Twitter: “£4m – £5m is a jackpot win.”
In response to a follow up question from a Gers fan Clifford clarified that it is a “hope” rather than any inside knowledge, but is fully on board with the potential sale to Elland Road.

Kamara’s standing in the Rangers squad has diminished over the past year and Michael Beale has already added multiple signings to the midfield department.
So while the Finnish international is a more than capable option to have at the club it looks like it is time for him to get a new start and for the Light Blues to bring some cash in.
The 27-year-old was seen as the most saleable asset heading into the window and, while Antonio Colak has already gone to Parma for a useful £2.5m fee [Scottish Sun, 15 July], if Kamara heads to Leeds for the mooted price it would prove accurate.
With the manager still looking to add the likes of Jose Cifuentes, Jonathan Panzo and Danilo before the window closes it would be extremely useful for his budget to be boosted by that amount.
While Leeds are on the brink of signing Ethan Ampadu from Chelsea they have already lost three of their four senior midfielders from last season so Kamara should get a decent opportunity there if the deal goes through.
This has the potential to be a rare transfer where every party involved comes away happy, so there appears plenty of reason for it to get over the line.
