Lamptey arrived at Brighton and Hove Albion from Chelsea on the final day of the January transfer window in 2020, signing a deal to keep him with the Seagulls until at least 2023.

The Hillingdon-born defender joined Chelsea as a seven-year-old and progressed to their under-18s, making his debut at the age of 16.

In 2019 he was part of the England squad at the Under-19 European Championships and also played for Chelsea’s under-23s before arriving at Albion.
