Glen Kamara

Glen Kamara's career reads like a textbook in patience, and that is exactly why I rate him. Starting at Arsenal but earning only a single cup appearance, then being loaned out and rebuilt at lower-league clubs, he could easily have drifted into obscurity. Instead he grafted his way through Dundee, drew Rangers in for a modest fee, and ended up anchoring Finland's midfield in Ligue 1 with Rennes. That is a footballer who improves rather than flatters, and I have a deep soft spot for players who climb the unglamorous ladder one rung at a time.

Glen Adjei Kamara (born 28 October 1995) is a Finnish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Rennes and the Finland national team. Kamara 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.
