The Glen Kamara stat that puts Rangers midfielder's Euro 2020 campaign in perspective as he tops group stage ranking

Finland and Rangers star Glen Kamara has enjoyed a positive Euro 2020 campaign despite his country's early exit in their first ever major finals.

And that's been laid bare after an impressive stat showing he's registered the most interceptions in the entire tournament across the three group stage games.

His displays for Huuhkajat have impressed the watching pundits with Martin Keown particularly enamoured with the former Arsenal trainee.

Kamara's country ended up narrowly missing out on a place in the last 16 by finishing as one of two third-placed teams - Slovakia being the other - whose points and goal difference differentials weren't enough to progress.

But Steven Gerrard's midfield linchpin has caught the eye with Watford said to be interested.

And there are sure to be others across Europe given his outstanding stats.

Kamara is yet to put pen to paper on a new contract with his current deal expiring in 2023.

He said before the tournament started that next season his focus remains on Rangers.

"I'm a Rangers player until told otherwise," he said. "I'm not focused on anything else, it's been really good.

"We just won the league unbeaten and had a good European run, so I'm not really focused on anything else. My focus is on Finland right now.

"The club's on the up and everyone is looking forward to next season. We want to go and retain that title."
