How Chelsea, Everton and Monaco all missed out after late-night drama on deadline day. Nizaar Kinsella reports.

Speaking on Wednesday, hours after the conclusion of transfer deadline day, AS Monaco manager Filipe Luís said that Lamine Camara (22) is “probably affected” by his aborted transfer to Chelsea

Chelsea have agreed a €55 million ($64m / £47m deal) with AS Monaco for midfielder Lamine Camara, sources have told ESPN.

Chelsea have moved to replace outgoing midfielder Enzo Fernandez with Monaco's Lamine Camara.

Chelsea missed out on AS Monaco's Lamine Camara late on deadline day and now face fierce competition for his signature next year.

Camara was desperate to join Chelsea and is now “clearly upset” after Monaco sensationally pulled the plug on his £47million move to Stamford Bridge, TEAMtalk understands

Chelsea have reached an agreement with Monaco for the signing of midfielder Lamine Camara. The Athletic reported earlier on Tuesday that Chelsea were keen on a move for the 22-year-old, and had seen a €45million offer rejected.

Chelsea had their initial bid for Lamine Camara rejected but have become convinced he has the ideal traits to provide a spark in their midfield.

Chelsea had identified Lamine Camara as their ideal replacement for Fernandez, and agreed a deal worth £47million for the Senegalese international before Monaco ultimately pulled the plug. Ironically, Chelsea’s failure to sign Camara came as a direct result of Everton pushing to sign Monaco striker Folarin Balogun.

The transfer is off, despite Monaco accepting a bid in the region of £47m (€54m) from Chelsea earlier on Tuesday.
