Arsenal young attacker Osman Kamara has left the club to join EFL Championship outfit Blackburn Rovers permanently, the club have confirmed.
The 19-year-old forward joined Arsenal in May 2014 and went on to sign his first professional contract with the club in June 2024.
Osman has made a total of 77 appearances for our Academy between under-18 and under-21 level, scoring 21 goals and assisting five times.
One of Arsenal’s longest-serving Academy players, Kamara had been with the Gunners for over a decade, joining ahead of the 2014-15 campaign.
The London-born forward, who represented Sierra Leone at the 2025 Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations, reached double figures for goals in the 2023-24 season, before scoring twice in 16 appearances during an injury-interrupted 2024-25 campaign.
One of those strikes came against Inter Milan in the UEFA Youth League.
An important member of Arsenal’s Under-21s squad during the first half of this season, during which time he scored in the Gunners’ EFL Trophy tie against Exeter City, Kamara joined Rovers on trial in January and scored on his debut in the impressive 5-0 victory over Birmingham City in Premier League 2 last week.
