Summary

Filipe Luis, the head coach of Monaco, expressed his desire to keep midfielder Lamine Camara, calling him "unbelievable" and saying he is a player who "everyone hopes stays". Camara, a 22-year-old, has been linked with a move to Chelsea but Monaco are making it clear they want to retain him. French journalist Matt Spiro believes that the reported transfer fee of €45million (£38.5m) for Camara is "crazily low", considering his performance and potential. Spiro thinks Chelsea would make a "terrific signing" if they manage to secure Camara's signature before the end of the transfer window.
