Newcastle interested in signing Lamine Camara

He is an expert at winning the ball back and progressing it with intent.

The Senegal international has experience in winning, having played a crucial role as the Lions of Teranga claimed the African Cup of Nations months ago.

In 2023, over the course of weeks, he won the CHAN (African Nations Championship) and the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, earning Player of the Tournament in both competitions.

He signed for FC Metz in Ligue 2 in February of that year, and within months, earned a move to Monaco. In January 2024, he was named CAF Young Player of the Year.

Unfortunately, Newcastle are not alone in the race for his signature, with Liverpool considering a bid.

He comes from the same Generation Foot academy as Sadio Mane, and they both progressed through Metz.

However, Newcastle should do everything to land Camara ahead of the competition. He is exactly what the engine room is crying out for.

Eddie Howe’s side thrives on overpowering opponents, but they have lacked control. He can provide renewed energy and the control the Magpies have been missing.
