The now former Olympique de Marseille midfielder Boubacar Kamara has returned to his recent call-up to the France team. “I am very happy and very proud for me and my family. After that it's only a stage, it's good to go there but the hardest thing is to stay there. It's almost the meeting I can't wait to be there, we'll see how it goes, ”he tells the official website of Aston Villa.

The Aston Villa midfielder also said that his new coach Steven Gerrard was decisive in the choice of his new club. “The coach was very important to me, he came to see me in Marseille, at home. We talked a lot, discussed the future. There was a very good feeling" explains "Bouba" who says he had exchanged a lot with his two French teammates: Morgan Sanson and Lucas Digne.

“I spoke a lot with Morgan and Lucas, I asked them how things were going here, how the city was like training the coach. They replied the same thing that it was great that I was going to enjoy it. explains the former Marseille player who could play his first match wearing the Aston Villa jersey against Stade Rennais in July during the preseason.
