Chelsea Are In The Mix To Land This Ligue 1 Midfielder: Should Alonso Move In For Him? In a recent report , Fussball News stated that Chelsea are in the mix to land Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara. It has been mentioned that the Blues would have to compete with Inter Milan and Al-Hilal in the race to sign the Senegalese midfield ace next year. Camara’s Impressive Form In Ligue 1 Camara has made a good start to this Ligue 1 campaign as he has put in a run of impressive displays for Monaco at the centre of the park. The 22-year-old has found the back of the net twice and earned one assist in 14 matches for the French outfit this season in various competitions. The Senegalese sensation is currently among the most talented central midfielders in Ligue 1. Thus, it is no surprise that the Blues are hoping to land him next year. His current contract at Monaco will run out in the summer of 2029, which could make it tough for Chelsea to sign him on the cheap this winter or at the end of this season.

He doesn’t mind putting his foot through the ball when needed and is an accurate passer as well from midfield. The Senegalese talent can even chip in by scoring and creating the odd goal for his team. Camara mainly functions as a box-to-box midfielder but can also serve as a defensive midfielder or play in the number ten position if needed. However, there are some concerns on whether he can adapt to the physicality and high intensity of the Premier League . We can expect Camara to bring more quality and depth to Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso’s defence. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at Stamford Bridge. At 22, Camara has the potential to be a future star in English football as long as he continues to improve with each season. He will also help the Blues compete across all fronts in the coming years. With all things considered, Alonso would be wise to move in for Camara in the January transfer period or next summer.
