Solo goals from Mohammed Kudus, Felix Afena Gyan and Osman Bukari guaranteed the Black Stars picked their first win in quite a while.
The 21-year-old is ready to change nationality from England to play for Ghana with his folks the move. On Tuesday, there was a gathering between Lamptey, his folks and the Ghana Football Association president Kurt Okraku.
Lamptey had turned down a challenge to play for the England U21 side, with the group’s mentor Lee Carsley uncovering Lamptey was truly thinking about playing for Ghana.
Lamptey was reached by Ghana in 2020 yet made his England Under-21 presentation soon thereafter. Lamptey, who has two Under-21 covers, meets all requirements for Ghana through his folks and has likewise played for England Under-18s and Under-19s.
The previous Chelsea full-back began multiple times for Brighton in the Premier League in the 2021-22 season and showed up as a substitute.
What I Think About This Defender
Tariq Lamptey is a versatile player who can play also as a Right back and he is very good.
He is always calm on the ball, knows when to release and not to release the ball and has attacking mindset which functions very well.
His pace and control on the ball is wonderful and a delight to watch. He can add up to our defence system and can help strengthen our backline together with Daniel Amartey of Leicester City, Alexander Djiku, and the rest as well.
I’m surely convinced that the level at which he plays at Brighton he will show such quality too at the camp of the Black Stars of Ghana.
Waiting to see his first debut for the senior soccer team, the Black Stars of Ghana.
