L. Camara is a 22-year-old defensive midfielder at Monaco, rated 87.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 5th of 337 on scout potential in the Ligue 1 and 38th of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (82.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.81 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Camara.

Judged on this season alone, Camara graded 66 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 6% of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 3 goals, 4 assists and 4.814 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 32 → 66). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 88, top 2% of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 22 Camara is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 60.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Camara missed 9 games through injury (ankle, international duty, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 24 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

4.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 82.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 87.7, Camara carries the 1st-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1 (top 2%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
