Brighton set for contract talks with Ghana defender Tariq Lamptey

Brighton and Hove Albion are set to begin contract talks with 24-year-old Ghanaian right-back Tariq Lamptey, whose current deal expires in six months.

Lamptey, who has struggled for consistent playing time under manager Fabian Hurzeler, impressed during the absence of Joel Veltman. Both players are expected to negotiate new contracts in January. Hurzeler highlighted that while Lamptey and Veltman understand their value and role in the team, discussions about their contracts will remain internal.

Lamptey has made six Premier League appearances this season, contributing one goal and two assists. The club and players are likely to proceed with negotiations privately before any public announcements.
