Fulham move for Kamara
09 Jul 2007 - 16:07:37
Fulham are reported to have completed the £6million signing of Senegal striker Diomansy Kamara from West Bromwich Albion on a five-year contract.
The 26-year-old frontman netted 23 goals for the Baggies last season as they narrowly missed out on promotion from the Championship, but Kamara will be playing in the Premier League after moving to Craven Cottage.
An original deal involving Cottagers striker Heidar Helguson moving to Albion as part of the transfer fell through, but Fulham manager Lawrie Sanchez returned with a cash only offer that has been accepted.
Kamara becomes Sanchez's third major signing of the summer following the arrivals of Northern Ireland duo Aaron Hughes and Steven Davis.
The striker first moved to England in the summer of 2004, linking up with Portsmouth on loan from Italian side Modena, before joining Albion a year later.
In total he netted 25 goals in 72 appearances for the Baggies.
