Boubacar Kamara, born on 23 November 1999 (age 26), is a French central defensive midfielder with Aston Villa. His current market value is around £32.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career is still shaped most clearly by Marseille. Across five seasons there, he made 130 league appearances and scored three goals, a sizeable body of work for a player whose job has rarely been about decorative attacking numbers. His 2018-19 league campaign brought 31 appearances and one goal, his most productive season in that respect.
After Marseille, Kamara moved into English football with Aston Villa, where he wears number 44 and remains a regular first-team presence. In 2025-26, he has made 18 Premier League appearances and scored once, with further involvement in the FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Europa League. Across all competitions for Villa that season, he has 26 appearances and one goal.
Kamara’s career to this point is straightforward enough: developed and established at Marseille, then carried that experience into a regular role at Aston Villa. He remains a defensive midfielder of standing, without needing much theatre around the description.
