Aston Villa signing Kamara proud of first France call; explains Senegal links

Aston Villa signing Boubacar Kamara is delighted with his first France call.

Just days after his move from Olympique Marseille was announced, the Villa midfielder earned a first call to the senior France squad.

Kamara addressed claims of committing to Senegal, stating: "“I never hesitated with Senegal. Certainly I was seen on social networks with a Senegal shirt, but it was during the CAN, because my father is Senegalese and part of me is Senegalese.

"I was very happy that they won. Especially since I played with a lot of players who won this CAN: Gueye, Dieng, Mendy, Sarr...

"I was very happy for them and for my father."
