Another former Sporting Kansas City player has a new club. Former Sporting KC forward, Kei Kamara is not longer a free agent, signing with HIFK in Finland. Kamara joins the team having spent the 2020 MLS season with the Colorado Rapids and then Minnesota United. He’s been without a contract since the end of the 2020 season. This will be Kamara’s third club outside the United States that he’ll play for after playing for Norwich City in 2013 and Middlesbrough in 2013 and 2014. His new club is a little over half way through their league season and currently sit in sixth place in the Veikkausliiga.
In other news, Gianluca Busio may have more American company at Venezia when he joins. Reports came out late last week that former Sporting Homegrown Player, Erik Palmer-Brown was also closing in on a move to the Italian club. First reported by MLS Multiplex, Palmer-Brown had been wanted by a few clubs including Venezia and Troyes in France. The reports are that while Manchester City would like the Troyes move (Troyes is owned by City Football Group like Manchester City), Palmer-Brown wants the move to Venezia. The deal is not done, but it sounds like Venezia will be Palmer-Brown’s next destination.
Here’s the rest of this week’s update.
