Academy coaches in the south of France compared a teenage Kamara to Franz Beckenbauer - he's now a prized possession at Villa Park
Alonzo’s music resonated with Kamara. His affiliation with the city and its football club entrenched who he was; son of a Senegalese father and a Corsican mother, Cathy, who has represented him in contract negotiations.
Kamara joins Marseille’s renowned academy. He regularly attends first-team games as a fan with his parents , brother Djibril and sister Djena.I met Bouba when he was three, so a couple of years before he joined Marseille. We started at the club from a very young age but I knew him earlier because of his mum. She worked at my school, in the canteen. I would see him around and we became friends. Bouba was always very discreet on and off the pitch.Cathy is really pleasant.
Having made his senior debut in the French League Cup in December 2016, Kamara captains Marseille Under-19s to the final of the Coupe Gambardella, the most prestigious competition in French youth football, the following May.I first met Bouba in the 2014-15 season, when he was 15. I had arrived a year earlier and part of my job was to speak to other coaches about him.
I first played him at centre-back for Marseille B on February 20, 2016. I remember the date because his performance was so clear. That day he reminded me of Franz Beckenbauer; he was very comfortable and everything he did exuded class. I knew he could play.
