Middlesbrough are right to keep scouting the MLS as Kei Kamara explains why it works

Former Middlesbrough forward Kei Kamara believes the club is wise to target Major League Soccer for recruitment, citing the league's athleticism and fast pace as ideal preparation for English football. Boro recently signed Sebastian Berhalter and Max Arfsten, following previous MLS acquisitions Aidan Morris and Adilson Malanda. Head of recruitment Chris Jones and head of football Kieran Scott view the North American market as an ongoing focus, while manager Kim Hellberg praised the drive of US players.

Kamara, who returned for Boro's Legacy Game, noted that players adapt smoothly to England due to the physical demands of MLS. Teesside Live's Craig Johns highlights that recruits like Morris and Berhalter chose Boro despite lucrative Designated Player offers in the United States, drawn by the ambition of playing in England.
