Chelsea are pushing to sign AS Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara, 22, as the window nears its close, but Filipe Luís says he hopes the Senegal international stays. According to Get French Football News, the move would take him to Stamford Bridge.

Despite the links, Camara started against Olympique de Marseille on Sunday and produced a man of the match display in a key win. After the final whistle, he sat alone in the dugout.

After the game, Luís was asked about the midfielder’s future at the club. As the question was put, CEO Thiago Scuro smiled, listened to the response, then left the room. “I hope to keep him,” said the Monaco manager.

Luís said people can see the player Camara is and called him unbelievable. He added, “Until the end of the transfer window, anything can happen.”

The Brazilian said everyone hopes Camara stays and described him as “elite.”
