Striker Abu Kamara rejoins Portsmouth for an undisclosed fee

Portsmouth has signed Abu Kamara from Premier League club Hull for an undisclosed fee. The 23-year-old forward has signed a three-year contract, making him the club’s seventh new player this summer.

Kamara has returned to Fratton Park after a successful loan spell there last season, where he was instrumental in the team winning the League One title.

The team’s manager, John Mousinho, expressed his excitement about having Abu back. He mentioned that the club has wanted him to return for a while and that Abu’s previous loan spell showed what he can bring to the team.

Kamara, who previously played for England’s youth teams, came up through Norwich’s academy before joining Pompey on loan in 2023. During his year with Pompey, he scored 10 goals in 52 games, contributing to their promotion.

His performance included scoring two goals in an away game against Shrewsbury and providing 11 assists.

After his loan ended, Kamara returned to Norwich but was then sold to Hull. At Hull, he scored five goals in 40 appearances.

He spent most of the last season on loan at Getafe in Spain’s La Liga, where he played against well-known teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The Italian outfit has said it is excited to announce that it has signed England international defender Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea. The 27-year-old has signed a contract that lasts until 2031.

He also won two FIFA Club World Cups and the UEFA Conference League.

Chalobah played more than 150 games for Chelsea in domestic and European competitions. He is good with the ball, strong, and versatile. He brings experience, leadership, and physicality to the defence.

Chalobah has represented England at various youth levels and made his senior debut in 2025. He was part of the squad that finished third in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Como 1907 Head Coach Cesc Fàbregas said, “Trevoh is an important signing for us. He reflects the ambition we have at this club. He has won at the highest level but is eager to start a new chapter and keep improving. He brings strength, speed, and leadership to our defense, as well as the skills to build from the back. He can elevate the team’s performance, and I’m very happy he chose Como.”

Upon his arrival, Trevoh said, “I’m thrilled to be here at Como. It’s an ambitious project, and working with manager Cesc Fàbregas again is special. I can’t wait to bring my experience to the team, enjoy the fantastic atmosphere at the stadium, and connect with the fans. I will give my best every day to make history together.”
