Ghana defender Tariq Lamptey is attracting significant attention from several clubs across Europe as the summer transfer window enters its final stages.
The 23-year-old right-back, who joined Brighton and Hove Albion from Chelsea in 2020, now finds himself in the final year of his contract, with uncertainty surrounding his future at the club.
Lamptey’s time at Brighton has been marred by recurring injuries that have hindered his ability to maintain consistent fitness.
Despite these challenges, he has made a notable impact on the pitch, featuring in 102 matches for the Seagulls, scoring two goals, and providing nine assists.
Interest in Lamptey is reportedly coming from clubs in both England and Europe, particularly from France and Germany, according to Sky Sports. This interest underscores Lamptey’s potential and value, even with his injury history.

Notably, Lamptey was absent from Brighton’s opening Premier League game against Everton due to injury, raising further concerns about his fitness ahead of a possible transfer.
His exclusion from the lineup also suggests that new Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler might not favour the versatile defender, making a move away from the club more likely as Lamptey seeks guaranteed regular playing time.
Having been a key player under former managers Graham Potter and Roberto De Zerbi, Tariq Lamptey now faces an uncertain future, with his next move potentially pivotal in reviving his career and securing a spot in the starting eleven of a top club.
