Glen Adjei Kamara (born 28 October 1995) is a Finnish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Saudi Pro League club Al Shabab, on loan from Ligue 1 club Rennes, and the Finland national team.
He began his senior career at Arsenal, where he made one substitute appearance in the Football League Cup and was loaned to Southend United and Colchester United. After 18 months at Dundee, he joined fellow Scottish Premiership side Rangers for £50,000. He made the PFA Scotland Team of the Year when they won the league title in 2020–21. In late August 2023 it was announced that he would be leaving Rangers to join Leeds United in the EFL Championship. After a successful season with Leeds, Kamara joined French side Rennes for a €10 million fee. Six months later, he signed for Al-Shabab on loan.
