Filipe Luís lauds Premier League target Lamine Camara after standout Monaco display | OneFootball

According to Get French Football News, Monaco's sale of Aladji Bamba to Newcastle United earlier in the summer has given the Principality club hope of keeping Lamine Camara. Filipe Luís wants that to be the outcome after the Senegal midfielder's weekend display.

Camara returned late to pre-season because of his FIFA World Cup involvement, yet he started Monaco's Ligue 1 opener against Le Havre and impressed in a 1-0 win.

Filipe Luís said: "From everything that I saw, there is one thing that caught my eye. I have never seen that in 20 years; it’s Lamine Camara. He is a ‘different’ player from what I’ve seen so far. His ability to manage things on the pitch and his concentration. He has a level that is way, way above average."

Monaco still need to make sales before the window closes. As things stand, Folarin Balogun is the likelier candidate to leave.

There remains a possibility Camara stays. He is the subject of Premier League interest, with Liverpool and Chelsea linked. Performances like these will only increase his value, and he also struck in last week's 3-2 win over Gornik Zabrze.
