Aston Villa 'will not entertain' Boubacar Kamara offers amid 'serious' injury worries

Aston Villa will not sell Kamara in January or beyond despite interest from Chelsea and Inter Milan, with Onana's long-term injury making midfield depth crucial.

Aston Villa have no intention of selling Boubacar Kamara in the January transfer window or beyond, according to former club scout Mick Brown. The 26-year-old midfielder has started all ten Premier League games this season and remains a key part of manager Unai Emery's plans.

Kamara has attracted interest from several high-profile European clubs including Chelsea and Inter Milan, as well as Saudi Pro League sides. However, Villa regard him as essential to their midfield and will not entertain offers for the France international.

The club's stance is reinforced by injury concerns elsewhere in midfield. Amadou Onana has been ruled out for a long time with a serious injury, leaving Villa short on depth in that area. Brown told Football Insider that with Onana sidelined and lacking midfield talent overall, Villa cannot afford to weaken further by selling Kamara.
