Tariq Lamptey is a defender of Brighton
Brighton defender Tariq Lamptey has returned to full training after spending nearly two months on the sidelines due to injury.
The 24-year-old right-back’s comeback is a timely boost for the Seagulls as they enter a crucial stage of the season.
With the Seagulls facing West Ham United over the weekend in the Premier League, Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler is likely to give him a role in the game to help improve his fitness.
Lamptey has been one of Brighton’s standout performers this season, showing flashes of brilliance even though injuries have interrupted his rhythm.
However, with just two months remaining on his contract, questions are being raised about his long-term future at the club.
Reports suggest that Dutch giants Ajax, along with several top-tier European sides, are closely monitoring the situation as the defender edges toward a possible summer move.
Lamptey has featured in 13 Premier League matches this season, contributing two goals and two assists, a testament to his attacking threat and impact from the flanks despite limited game time.
