His first Ligue one goal of the season came from a long-range effort and several pundits believe it is a contender of the month.

‘I’ve worked on a lot in training’

“It’s something I’ve worked on a lot in training because I know I have the qualities to score goals. Some of my teammates, like Paul Pogba, often tell me I have a great shot and that I could help the team that way,” said Camara as quoted by Wiw Sport.

“It showed against Toulouse; I didn’t hesitate to shoot. (Regarding his previous goals) It’s true that I don’t score often, but when I do, they’re beautiful goals (smiles).

“I’ve always had that quality; I know I can score at any moment.”

Camara was called to Senegal by Cisse

Camara joined Ligue 1 club Monaco for a transfer fee of €15 million, signing a five-year contract. He made his debut for Monaco in a 1-0 win over Saint-Étienne at the Stade Louis II in the team’s opening fixture of the 2024-25 season.

In the following match, he scored his first goal for the club in a 2-0 win over Lyon and was later sent off after being shown two yellow cards.

Camara was called up to the senior Senegal team for the first time by coach Aliou Cissé, and made his debut in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Sudan, scoring the third goal of a 4-0 win in Dakar.
