As good as Joao Neves: Liverpool eye UNREAL midfield talent

Liverpool are expected to be active in the upcoming transfer window. Among the positions being eyed for an upgrade is centre midfield.

A lot has been asked of Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones this season and Arne Slot doesn't trust his reserves much.

Wataru Endo has featured as a "closer" while Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton have endured very frustrating campaigns.

One player who emerged on the radar in recent months is Monaco sensation Lamine Camara.

The Senegal international, 21, signed from Metz in summer 2024 and has been a revelation for the Principality side, contributing both in an attacking and defensive sense all season long.

A recent graphic shared by Hudl Statsbomb placed Camara among the best players in Europe’s top five leagues for counterpressures and counterpressure regains. Also on the list were Szoboszlai as well as Paris Saint-Germain talent Joao Neves.

Liverpool were reportedly in the running for Neves before his move to Ligue 1 and this evidence shows that the Reds would be getting a player very close to the Portuguese’s stature should they make a move for Camara.

Lamine Camara on Liverpool radar

But Camara isn’t just a ball-winner or a leader out of possession. He makes things happen on the ball. From midfield he has provided six Ligue 1 assists this season - scoring two goals of his own.

Moreover, he is an incredible set-piece threat - a skill Liverpool could use if Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves.

Only a matter of time before Camara moves on

A versatile, midfield all-rounder, Camara could occupy any of the three main midfield roles for Slot’s side. His work-rate would surely impress the Dutchman and his effectiveness in possession shows he is not just a destroyer.
