Eduardo Camavinga: Angola teenager named Ligue 1 Player of the Month

Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has been awarded the Ligue 1 Player of the Month for August.

Camavinga who made his Ligue 1 debut towards the end of last season, has played every minute of Rennes' league games this season.

He produced a man-of-the-match performance during the Rennais' 2-1 win over PSG at Roazhon Park where he assisted Romain Del Castillo for his match-winning goal on August 18.

The Angolan teenage sensation saw off competition from Nimes' Zinedine Ferhat and Toulouse's Baptiste Reynet to become the first Rennes player to win the monthly gong since Ousmane Dembele in 2016.
