Sergio Camello up for LaLiga's September MVP | OneFootball

The Madrid-born forward has seven goals in seven matchdays, already surpassing last season’s tally

Sergio Camello is enjoying a start to the campaign that is leaving a lasting impression on the Rayo faithful. The Rayo Vallecano striker has established himself as the undisputed focal point in the system set up by Beñat San José, driven above all by a consistency and clinical edge in front of goal that place him among the standout performers in the domestic competition. With seven goals in the opening seven matchdays—already bettering the five he scored over the whole of last season—and having found the net against opponents of the caliber of Alavés, Barcelona, Racing de Santander and Real Madrid, the Madrid forward is going through a purple patch that has not gone unnoticed.

His ruthlessness in the final third has earned him a LaLiga nomination for the September Player of the Month award. A more than deserved honor after producing four goals and one assist in just four matches during this period, which will see him go head-to-head with established stars such as Kylian Mbappé, Raphinha, Jonathan David and Fer Niño. This official recognition from the league authorities confirms the stature of a Camello who has earned his place among the competition’s most decisive players.

However, this sensational scoring form has not been enough to open the doors to the Spanish national team during this autumn international break. It is striking that Luis de la Fuente has not turned to a profile he knows perfectly well from their time together in Spain’s youth ranks, where the Rayo attacker was a key figure. Be that as it may, Camello will remain focused on extending his run in Vallecas, where no one now doubts his ability to lead the project.
