Lamine Camara has made 55 appearances for Monaco

Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara says he is fully focused on the new Ligue 1 season after his proposed £47.1 million move to Chelsea collapsed shortly before the transfer window closed.

The 22-year-old Senegal international had completed a medical as Chelsea pushed to sign him, but the deal ultimately fell through despite the Premier League club making two bids for the midfielder.

Camara admitted there had been a possibility of leaving Monaco but insisted he has quickly moved on from the disappointment.

As reported by BBC Sport on Saturday, the Senegalese was quoted as saying, “There was a possibility I could leave,” Camara said ahead of Monaco’s match against Strasbourg.
