Abu Kamara's successful loan spell at Portsmouth has made him hungry for more as he gears up for his Norwich City return in pre-season. 

The youngster returned to Colney earlier this week for testing and conversations with the key players heading into the next campaign, with David Wagner rating him highly and handing him his senior debut last year. 

An impressive first full season of senior football has caught the eye of City supporters and the powers that be, with the 20-year-old set to be assessed during pre-season. 

That loan spell at Fratton Park has given Kamara the bug as he strives to win a place in Wagner's squad next season. 

"[I've] not seen the manager just yet, but I'll see him throughout the day and hopefully I'll come back in and have a strong pre-season," Kamara told City's official channels.

"I've always known I was capable of achieving what I've achieved, and it's only the start. I'm hungry for more.

"I always keep in contact with the boys. The likes of Ken Aboh, Jonny Rowe, and a few of the other boys who were out on loan. Knowing that I'm on the same journey as them, it's always good to hear different angles of people's journeys and it's nice knowing we're all in this together."

Kamara has played over 50 matches for Pompey in a season that saw them return to the Championship for the first time in 11 seasons.

The experience has proven beneficial to the City academy graduate, who feels he returns to Norwich as a much-improved player. 

"Under-21s football is a lot slower than League One, so I had to adapt in that sense. League One is a lot more physical and you don't have as much time to receive the ball, look up and do what you want to do. In League One, you need to know what your next step is. That's helped my game a lot.

"I think it's benefitted a lot, really. Having 50 games under my belt at such a young age is only going to make me more physically-robust, and it's going to make me a better player at the end of the day. I'm grateful that the manager allowed me to perform."
