Goals / app

9 goals in 31 appearances (0.29 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. Add 1 assist for 10 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.33 goals, 0.04 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 58.9, Camara carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Ligue 2 (top 32%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Laval finished 16th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
