Arsenal are reportedly considering bringing youth product Glen Kamara back to the club after scouting him in each of his last six Rangers appearances.

Arsenal are reportedly considering a move for Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara after scouting him in each of his last six outings.

The 24-year-old came through the ranks at Arsenal but only made one senior appearance before leaving in 2017, with that coming in an EFL Cup fourth-round defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in October 2015.

However, Kamara has enjoyed a new lease of life since moving to Scotland, impressing for Dundee to earn a transfer to Rangers, where he has helped Steven Gerrard's side challenge Celtic's domestic dominance.

The Finland international has made 29 appearances across all competitions this season, the last six of which have had Arsenal scouts in attendance to assess his performances.

The Daily Mail reports that the Gunners are considering bringing him back to the Emirates Stadium, although they could face competition from the likes of Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Kamara spent time on loan at Southend United and Colchester United during his previous spell at Arsenal, having joined the club as a 16-year-old in 2012.
