Tariq Lamptey attracts interest as transfer window nears close

Black Stars defender Tariq Lamptey is reportedly on the radar of several clubs as the summer transfer window approaches its final days.

The 23-year-old right-back, currently in the last year of his contract with Brighton and Hove Albion, has drawn attention from teams in both England and Europe, with notable interest from clubs in France and Germany.

Lamptey, who joined Brighton from Chelsea in 2020, has had a mixed tenure with the Seagulls, largely due to recurring injuries that have limited his availability. Despite these challenges, he has managed to make a notable impact, appearing in 102 matches, scoring two goals, and providing nine assists.

According to reports from Sky Sports, the interest from other clubs underscores Lamptey’s potential, even with his injury history.

However, his fitness remains a concern, as evidenced by his absence from Brighton’s opening Premier League match against Everton.

As the transfer window edges closer to its end, the future of Lamptey remains uncertain, with clubs closely monitoring his situation and weighing the risks and rewards of acquiring the talented but injury-prone defender.
