While not the most prolific player around, Aboubakar Kamara still has a role to play at Fulham, finding the back of the net 11 times in 46 appearances, including two in his last three appearances.

Used in each of the past five games by Claudio Ranieri, the 23-year-old has seen his status increase since the Italian arrived at Craven Cottage, a move the forward feels is headed in the right direction, even if the results still aren’t ideal.

Speaking to ActuFoot, he discussed how things were going in England for him.

He said: “Rather well, I’d say. We’re fighting to stay up. We’re currently struggling, but with the arrival of the new manager, I can already feel a better cohesion in the team.”

Prior to his move to Fulham, the forward enjoyed a similar role to his current one at Amiens, the same club where the likes of Nicolas Pépé and Tanguy Ndombélé went to develop, but it was his decision to go to England, even if Fulham wasn’t a specific target of his.

He explained: “The English league has always attracted me. Everyone wants to play there. I’d seen a few games and I felt it was a good challenge to go over there. It’s an intense league, physical and one that requires good mental strength. As for the choice of going to Fulham, you’d have to ask my agent.”

Kamara also made it clear that what happened with Jokanovic wasn’t solely the Serbian manager’s fault, claiming it was tough for ‘both him and us, the players’ and it was only the results that got him the sack rather than anything else behind the scenes.

Fulham’s next game comes on Saturday, as they travel to Newcastle in what could be a very important game for Ranieri going forward. 

A loss could see them slip further behind Huddserfield, who welcome Southampton at home.
