Aboubakar Kamara

Aboubakar Kamara played as a striker or right winger at Fulham from 2017 until 2021. A former Monaco youth player, he impressed in France's Ligue 2 whilst helping Amiens gain promotion in 2016-17, leading to his signing for the Whites in July 2017 by Slaviša Jokanović. He represents Mauritania at international level, earning his first cap in 2021.

Fulham (2017-2021)
Aboubakar's signature was officially confirmed on 31 July 2017 for an undisclosed fee, thought to be in the region of around £4 million. He made his debut in the first league match of the 2017-18 season, a 1-1 draw at home to Norwich City. He scored his first Fulham goal in another 1-1 draw, this time against Middlesbrough on 23 September. He was given a straight red card in a 2-0 loss at home to Bristol City for allegedly pushing Bailey Wright in an off-the-ball incident. This was appealed by the club after the match and was successful, and no suspension was issued.

After initially falling out of favour in the first team selection, Slaviša Jokanović began utilising him more as in inside forward in the latter portion of 2017-18, which led to him starting in the Play-off Final and gaining promotion with the team.

The 2018-19 season was full of difficulties both on and off the pitch for the club and Aboubakar. Three incidents in a short space of time led to him leaving in January with a loan to Turkish side Yeni Malatyaspor. On 29 December 2018 in a 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town, he pubicly argued with Aleksandar Mitrović on the pitch over who should take a penalty kick, with Aboubakar stealing the ball off of the Serbian, insistant that he take it (this was despite Aleksandar being the assigned penalty taker). He then went on to miss the penalty, though Mitrović later scored in the final minute to spare his blushes. Only days later, it emerged in the press that he had yet again had another altercation with Aleksandar during a team bonding yoga session. Again, days later another story emerged in the press, this time an altercation with a security guard at Motspur Park resulting in a temporary ban from the club.

Remarkably, he made a return to the club in the summer of 2019 and was a part of new manager Scott Parker's plans.

On 24 Oct 2020, he was given a straight red card following a VAR review on a challenge he had made on Eberechi Eze during a 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage. After finding game time harder to come by, he was allowed to leave on loan once more at the end of the January 2021 transfer window and returned to France to join Dijon for the remainder of the 2020-21 season.

In March 2021, he accepted an invitation to represent Mauritania as he qualified through his father, and earned his first international cap on 26 March against Morocco.

Despite making an appearance off the bench for the first League match of the 2021-22 season, he soon departed for pastures new in Greece.

After Fulham
It was announced on 17 August 2021 that Aboubakar had signed a permanent deal with Aris Thessaloniki for a reported fee of around £3 million.
