Spurs interested in AS Monaco midfielder | OneFootball

Although the summer transfer window does not open for a couple of months yet (clue is in the name, really), the formalities of transfers are often completed, or at least begin, between both windows. As a result, things get leaked, and there are plenty of rumours that go with it.

Clubs will certainly at least show an interest in players, begin to scout them, and perhaps make enquiries, which will again lead to rumours – some accurate and some of them less so.

Spurs are a good example. They have been linked to several players in recent weeks – whilst a few players have been linked with a move away from North London. We will have to see what happens regarding those potential moves in the coming months.

Another player to be linked with a move to Spurs is midfielder Lamine Camara of Ligue 1 side AS Monaco – that is according to English media publication GiveMeSport, whom are often quite accurate when it comes to transfers. In the same piece, they mention the continued interest in Angel Gomes.

Spurs readying a bid for highly rated AS Monaco midfield star

The midfielder is considered to be one of the best talents to come out of Senegal. According to the report – Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich are also said to be interested in the player, which can only be a positive in terms of the player’s ability to have that calibre of club interested in his services.

As for the player himself, he only turned 21 at the start of this year, and yet already has 29 caps for the Senegal national team, with an impressively tally of six goals to his name in that time. He was apart of the Senegal side at the Africa Cup of Nations last year, playing alonside Pape Matar Sarr in two games. He scored a brace in a 3-0 win over Gambia in the group stages.

It is actually crazy how many young players Spurs get linked to. In isolation, there is nothing wrong with that – but the club do need more players in their prime. Perhaps in some cases, maybe even one or two players that are a little past their peak, but with plenty to still offer as a well as wealth of experience that this squad clearly needs.

To be fair to Camara, for a 21-year old, he already does have a fair amount of experience. He has already played 54 games in Ligue 1, nine games in the UEFA Champions League, and as mentioned above has 29 caps for Senegal already.

One thing to slightly be cautious of is there is an AFCON next season. It is set to be more brutal to teams with African players this time round, as the tournament starts in December, meaning that the players will be unavailable during the hectic Christmas schedule.
