Rangers and Finland midfielder Glen Kamara has joined Red Bull as a global ambassador.

The 26-year old joins a select band to represent the energy drink company alongside such illustrious names as Paris St Germain’s Neymar, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Barcelona’s Memphis Depay and Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Former Arsenal trainee Kamara, who has been attracting interest from Premier League and Bundesliga sides in recent months, has earned increasing respect not only with his performances on the pitch but with his drive to emerge from humble beginnings.

His parents arrived in Finland as refugees from civil war-torn Sierra Leone and Kamara was raised in sleepy Soukka, not far from Helsinki before moving to London with his mother aged 12.

It was while playing cage football in Ladbroke Grove that he was first spotted by Southend United prior to joining Arsenal. He has since gone on to win the Scottish league title with Rangers and represented Finland at the European Championships earning praise from Sportsmail columnist Martin Keown for his displays. 

His stance against racism last year earned even greater respect from his peers and Red Bull are looking to utilise his standing as a role model in the game as they work to promote football at grassroots level.

The Austrian based company’s sporting empire stretches far and wide from football clubs to formula one and even windsurfing. They have now brokered a deal with Kamara’s agents at StormSportsX that will see the defensive midfielder represent Red Bull around the world for an initial year with further commercial link ups expected to follow.

Kamara, who is expected to start on Thursday evening when Rangers take on Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League, tweeted: ‘Super excited to start working with @redbull #givesyouwings.’

As well as sides from Germany, he is understood to be attracting attention from English clubs Newcastle, Brighton, Watford and Aston Villa ahead of the summer transfer window.
