Brighton have confirmed the deadline day signing of Chelsea right back Tariq Lamptey, after the player completed the second part of his medical on Friday.
The 19-year-old’s Chelsea contract was set to expire at the end of the season and Brighton have swooped to sign the player until June 2023.
Frank Lampard had been confident of tying the youngster down to a longer deal with talks over an extension, though Lamptey has opted to move on in order to further his career. A deal worth in the region of £4.5million has now been concluded.
