French Connection: 'He’s on a cloud right now' - Francois Kamano taking Ligue 1 by storm

The Guinea international continues to be a shining light in Le Championnat - the League of Talents

Bordeaux winger Francois Kamano has enjoyed a breakout year for the Ligue 1 outfit, during which he has scored 15 goals, including eight already this season.

Indeed, he had a key role to play in the club’s qualification for the Europa League this term, arguably outperforming Malcom – now of Barcelona – as they charged up the league standings under Gus Poyet, who the winger worked hard to win over after initially being a substitute under the Uruguayan.

Such form has only accelerated in the early weeks of the current campaign, with Eric Bedouet, the spokesperson for the club’s coaching staff, having hailed both the quality and consistency of the 22-year-old.
