Liverpool tracking Olympiacos midfielder Aguibou Camara – Things to know about him

The
20-year-old
midfielder
is
widely
regarded
as
one
of
the
hottest
prospects
of
African
football.
The
20-year-old
currently
plays
for
Olympiacos
and
has
been
in
fine
form.
It
is
understood
that
the
Reds
have
been
scouting
him
for
a
long
time
now
and
have
been
left
impressed
every
time
so
far
this
season.

A
January
move
to
Liverpool
could
be
mooted
although
the
midfielder
is
surely
be
focused
on
the
Africa
Cup
of
Nations
as
of
now
where
he
would
play
alongside
Liverpool
midfielder
Naby
Keita.

These
are
a
couple
of
things
you
need
to
know
about
the
midfielder:

His
career
so
far

Camara
broke
through
the
ranks
at
Lille
and
grabbed
his
only
first-team
chance
with
the
club
in
February
last
year.
He
made
his
debut
in
a
Coupe
de
France
match
against
Dijon
and
scored
the
only
goal
of
the
game.

However,
the
20-year-old
made
a
bold
decision
over
the
summer
and
left
the
French
side
to
join
the
Greek
giants.
This
has
turned
out
to
be
a
great
decision
by
the
attacking
midfielder
so
far
with
him
having
a
breakthrough
time
at
Olympiacos.
He
has
recorded
four
goals
and
two
assists
in
25
appearances
in
the
league
this
season
shining
with
his
overall
play.

Playing
Style

Camara
typically
plays
as
an
attacking
midfielder
for
his
current
club.
However,
he
has
also
played
as
a
box
to
box
midfielder,
a
right-winger
or
supporting
striker
so
far.
Considering
his
versatility
he
could
be
any
manager’s
dream.

Transfer
Situation

Apart
from
Liverpool,
Leicester
City
and
Newcastle
United
alongside
AC
Milan
also
reportedly
are
interested
in
him
with
a
January
transfer
in
mind.
However,
it
is
understood
that
the
Greek
side
are
unlikely
to
want
to
part
with
the
youngster
immediately
this
January
and
have
slapped
a
£20m
asking
price
on
the
midfielder’s
head.
Now
it
remains
to
be
seen
how
things
fold
eventually.
