Amid a successful return from injury, Aston Villa midfielder Boubacar Kamara is being watched by three clubs, including Chelsea.
Kamara missed a large period of last season through injury. The Frenchman made it through most of the first half of last campaign before a knee problem kept him out for the rest.
Now back in the Villa side this season, Kamara is impressing, with Unai Emery trusting him to start every Premier League game so far.
Amid a good period of form, with fitness no longer a concern, the Villa man is in sight for some clubs.
Fussball News reports Chelsea, Inter Milan and Al-Hilal have Kamara on their watchlists. All three are believed to see him as an interesting option to reinforce their defensive midfield position.
There is no sense at the moment that Villa are willing to discuss a sale, with Emery a big fan of the Frenchman, which is evident in the game time he's giving him.
The report even states that it's unlikely the Villans are going to discuss the sale of one of their more important assets at this time.
It's also not known if any of the interested clubs are willing to come with offers for the midfielder in January, solely that they have Kamara on their radars.
Boubacar Kamara showcased defensive assets against Man Utd
Against Manchester United in the 4-4 draw on Sunday, the Villa midfielder showed off his assets, particularly defensively.
Kamara's 14 defensive contributions were the second highest of any player on the field, including three tackles, two interceptions and six recoveries.
But the Villa man did not have the greatest game in other facets.
His 5.8 rating, which only one other player came in below, was a result of a day full of wayward passing.
In 90 minutes, Kamara attempted 36 passes - half of United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo - and only 78 per cent of them were on target.
Unsurprisingly, the Villa man made no key passes, and only played the ball into the final third on two occasions.
While his defensive skills are something to behold, if any of the aforementioned clubs are to look into Kamara's signing, they'll want to know he can have an impact on both sides of the ball.
