Standing at 1.84 metres, the 15-year-old is already a physical specimen, capable of withstanding physicality at the top level. Camarda is an excellent target man with a brilliant finishing ability, having the killer instinct and composure alongside natural technique.

Camarda often drops deep to draw the defenders away from their position and create spaces for others to exploit. The 15-year-old provides a strong link-up play with midfielders and wide players, using quick flicks and through-balls into channels.
Historical night @ San Siro.
