He\u2019s had an approach. It\u2019s something he\u2019s considering at the minute.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s asked to be left out of the squad for a bit of head space. He\u2019s not switched, it\u2019s not cemented or anything like that. But he\u2019s had an approach. We have to respect that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve made it clear how important we see him to us. I know the seniors have as well. It\u2019s not something that we\u2019ve given up on. Tariq is fully aware of how important we see him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be fair, I have rang him every day. I probably shouldn\u2019t have, I probably pushed him. You can only make it clear so many times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say we\u2019ve done as much as we can, but he knows where we stand with him. I think we have to respect now that he\u2019s got a decision to make. Not only with himself, but with his family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lamptey, signed from Chelsea in January 2020, qualifies for Ghana through his parents.<\/p>\n<p>He made 30 top-flight appearances last season as Brighton finished ninth, their highest ever finish in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>            <!--  [embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries[\/embed]<!--\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>--><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"6KKKj9zvXn4\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"14 CSOs Petition CHRAJ to Probe Degazetting, Alleged Sale of Achimota Forest Lands (25-5-22)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6KKKj9zvXn4?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tariq Lamptey Lee Carsley has revealed Brighton and Hove Albion right-back Tariq Lamptey asked to be left out of the England Under-21 squad because he is weighing up his international future.
