Tottenham Hotspur 'keen on signing Tariq Lamptey'

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in bringing Brighton & Hove Albion defender Tariq Lamptey to the club during this summer's transfer window.

The 20-year-old made a strong start to the 2020-21 campaign, contributing one goal and three assists in his opening 11 Premier League appearances.

Lamptey missed the second half of the season with a hamstring injury, though, with his last Premier League outing coming against Fulham in the middle of December.

Arsenal have previously been linked with the right-back, but according to Sky Sports News, there is also firm interest from Tottenham.

The report claims that the North London club are looking for a replacement for Serge Aurier and have identified Lamptey as the ideal acquisition.

The England Under-21s international has made 19 appearances for Brighton since arriving from Chelsea in January 2020 and still has four years left to run on his contract at the Amex.
