Fulham striker Aboubakar Kamara agrees loan move to Turkey

Controversial Fulham striker Aboubakar Kamara has agreed a loan move to Turkish top-flight side Yeni Malatyaspor.

Kamara was arrested at the Fulham training ground last week on suspicion of actual bodily harm and criminal damage.

The 23-year-old Frenchman yesterday flew to Turkey to finalise his move to Malatyaspor.

Fulham have been looking to offload Kamara after he was involved in an incident with a security guard at their training ground.

His arrest has not jeopardised their chances of brokering a deal.

Kamara, who joined Fulham from Amiens for around £5m in 2017, had been made to train with the club’s Under-23s after several breaches of discipline.

Manager Claudio Ranieri was furious when he wrestled the ball from designated penalty taker Aleksandar Mitrovic and missed from the spot against Huddersfield with the score at 0-0 in a game Fulham went on to win.
