Filipe Luis impressed by the qualities of Senegalese midfielder Lamine Camara: “I’ve never seen anything like it in 20 years”

Following AS Monaco’s 1-0 victory over Le Havre on Sunday in the opening day of Ligue 1, Lamine Camara received a particularly glowing tribute from his manager, Filipe Luis. The Brazilian manager, clearly impressed by the Senegalese midfielder, made no secret of his admiration for the young Monegasque player.

“Of everything I’ve seen, there’s one player who’s caught my eye: Lamine Camara. I’ve never seen anything like it in 20 years. He’s a player of a very different calibre to anything I’ve seen so far.”

Such praise is a testament to the talent of the Senegalese international, who continues to establish himself as one of the key players in the Monaco squad. This statement from the Monaco manager comes at an opportune moment, given the summer transfer rumours linking Lamine Camara with Liverpool.

And Filipe Luis’s comments could be seen as an expression of his desire to keep the Senegalese international in the Monaco squad. The Brazilian manager would certainly not want to part ways with the 22-year-old Senegalese player.
