As per the latest information provided by Fabrizio Romano, Tariq Lamptey could leave Brighton & Hove Albion in the January transfer window.
Tariq Lamptey could leave Brighton in January
Ultimately, this revelation does not come as much of a surprise, considering the 22-year-old has started just 1 game in the Premier League this season.
As a result, one can see why a player as young as Lamptey is eyeing an exit from Brighton in January.
Romano has also reported that a number of clubs in Europe are aware that the Ghanaian international is ready to depart the Seagulls.
One of the clubs interested in the speedster is Lyon, as a potential replacement for Malo Gusto, who could join Chelsea this month.
Under Graham Potter, the £42,000-a-week starlet was breathtaking to watch until his progress was sadly interrupted by a long-term hamstring injury.
After being gradually bedded into the side once again, the youngster, despite starting 16 league games did not look at his very best.
And during Roberto De Zerbi’s reign, he is yet to start a league game.
Keeping that in mind, one understands why Tariq Lamptey, described by Neil Maupay as ‘amazing’ (via Ghana Web) is gearing up to leave Brighton in January.
Seagulls could live to regret Lamptey sale
There is no denying that Lamptey has not been at his frightening best for a while now.
Furthermore, Brighton are one of the savviest clubs in Europe in the transfer market.
However, the diminutive right-back is a sensational talent, blessed with just about every trait one would dream of from a modern full-back.
While Joel Veltman has been a class act this season, the question remains whether the club should do more to keep such a talented prospect around?
Ultimately, that decision is for Brighton to take as a Tariq Lamptey redemption arc after a potential switch in January could be a reminder to the side of one that got away.
