The 25-year-old joined Villa from Marseille in 2022 and has made close to 100 appearances in claret and blue.
Kamara has established himself as an integral part of Unai Emery’s midfield, becoming a fans’ favourite along the way.
He’s also endured a difficult spell on the sidelines due to injury, admitting his time in the midlands has flown by.
“It’s gone fast,” he said.
“Some very good moments, some bad moments, but during these three years the team has grown up, every year we improve and I hope this season will be the same.”
Asked about his ambitions for the 2025/26 campaign, Kamara added: “Play very well, be competitive in every competition.
“Play, enjoy with the fans and finish better than last year.”
