After false alarm back in 2016, Kei Kamara finally a member of the Whitecaps
VANCOUVER — Kei Kamara turned up at the Columbus Crew’s practice facility in May 2016 convinced he was set to join the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Social media was buzzing with rumours the striker would be moved following an on-field spat and subsequent public comments directed at a teammate.
Kamara was right to believe a deal was in place, he just had the team wrong.
“I went into training thinking, ‘I just got traded to Vancouver,’” Kamara recalled Monday. “They told me I was going to New England Revolution. I was like, ‘Oh, I thought it was going to be Vancouver Whitecaps from all the Twitter stuff.”
