Leeds United transfer target Glen Kamara is now training alone at Rangers as he waits for a summer exit, Michael Beale has confirmed.

27-year-old midfielder Kamara is expected to leave Rangers this summer and Leeds United are among those to have been consistently linked. It was claimed last week that the Whites were closing in on a £5m agreement for the Finn, but a move has not come to fruition just yet.

Kamara still has two years left on his Rangers contract but he does not figure in the plans of ex-QPR boss Beale.

Now, Beale has issued a fresh update on his situation, revealing that the Leeds target is training alone

As quoted by the Daily Record, the Rangers boss stated that while there are no problems with Kamara on a personal level, he is best training away from the rest of the squad as work goes into a potential move away. Here’s what he had to say:

“He’s training in isolation at the moment, not with the group, trying to get himself up to speed. There’s a lot in the background with Glen as well, with different enquiries and him talking to different people.

“So it’s best that he’s to the side of the group. I’ve got no issues with him on a personal level. It’s a conversation we had a good few months ago.”

A breakthrough soon?

With Kamara away from the main group at Rangers, the hope will be that it can prompt some movement on the transfer front. Leeds United’s continued links with a move for his services should only be aided by this and if they want to get a deal done, the news that he’s training alone may well see them accelerate their pursuit in a bid to ensure he’s best prepared for the new season.

Midfield additions are needed at Elland Road and Kamara’s signing would be a big boost to their promotion hopes.

He’s spent much of his career playing at a high level with Rangers and has tested his mettle on the European stage too. Kamara is someone who could prove pivotal in a promotion bid and then make the step up to Premier League football if the Whites are successful this season.

‘Cannot get near him’: Media blown away by ‘exceptional’ Leeds player v Hearts today

Leeds United got themselves a useful 1-0 win at Hearts today as they prepared for the big kick off next weekend in the Championship.

The Whites had a goal from Luke Ayling to thank for the win as Daniel Farke got to see his side put through their paces against a sold enough Hearts side.

For Leeds and Farke, there were bits to like and bits not to like. Of course, one of the aspects not to enjoy was the potentia injury to Patrick Bamford. The forward went off holding his hamstring and will be touch and go now for next week.

However, on the brighter side, there was a positive performance from the returning Crysencio Summerville. And writing up his player ratings for Leeds Live, Beren Cross said the young forward was unplayable at times for Leeds.

“Looked bright on his return to the attack. Glides across the pitch with the ball at his feet and it seems like the defence cannot get near him. Lovely weight and timing of pass into Ayling for the opening goal,” Cross wrote.

Summerville will be hoping to have a big season this time around after showing glimpses for Leeds last term.

Lauded by Michael Owen as an ‘exceptional‘ talent, Summerville is likely to be vital for Farke’s Leeds.

Time for Summerville to shine for Leeds

Daniel Farke will need his best players producing the goods in attacking areas this coming season and that means Crysencio Summerville doing his bit.

As Cross says here, he showed glimpses for Leeds at Hearts and if he can do it regularly, then he should have a big impact.

The 21-year-old is learning his trade still as we know. But if he can hit the ground running in the Championship, he could be in for a big old season.
