Exclusive Interview: Glen Kamara Opens Up on Rennes Move, Leeds Exit, and Arsenal’s Title Chances

In an exclusive conversation with GiveMeSport, Stade Rennais midfielder Glen Kamara shared his ambitions for the French club, reflected on his departure from Leeds United, and backed former club Arsenal to win the Premier League.

Kamara, who joined Rennes from Leeds this summer for €10m, emphasized the importance of European football for his new club. “I was attracted by the club’s ambition to be in Europe,” he said. “I played a lot of European football at Rangers and getting back to that level would be amazing.”

Rennes spent heavily in the transfer window, with Kamara among the notable signings. The Finnish international acknowledges the pressure to deliver. “If we don’t make Europe this season, we’ll be disappointed. It wouldn’t be good for us, especially with the squad we have.”

Kamara’s exit from Leeds United was unexpected, given his impressive 42 appearances in just one season. “It was bitter-sweet leaving Leeds,” he admitted. “We were very close to going up. I had watched a lot of the Championship games before joining Leeds, and had friends playing in the league.”

Despite his departure, Kamara backs Leeds to secure promotion to the Premier League this season. “I think Leeds will have a good chance of going back up to the Premier League. They have great players.”

On the international stage, Kamara is determined to help Finland qualify for the 2026 World Cup. “We haven’t had a great Nations League, and now we have to put things right and try to qualify for the World Cup. That has to be the dream.”

As a lifelong Arsenal supporter, Kamara believes Mikel Arteta’s side can overcome their nine-point deficit to win the Premier League. “I think they can do it this year. The squad is talented enough. They have been really close in the last two seasons.”

Key Points:

• Glen Kamara discusses Rennes move and European ambitions
• Reflects on Leeds United exit and backs club for promotion
• Backs Arsenal to win Premier League
• Targets 2026 World Cup qualification with Finland
• Adapting to life in Ligue 1 and French culture

Kamara’s journeyman career has seen him play for seven clubs since 2015, but his passion for football and Finnish heritage remain strong. As Rennes pushes for European qualification, Kamara’s experience and tenacity will be crucial in the Ligue 1 run-in.
