Manchester United interested in Ghana target Tariq Lamptey

Premier League giants, Manchester United have shown interest in English-born Ghanaian defender, Tariq Lamptey, Footballghana.com can report.

The 21-year-old who joined Brighton and Hove Albion in 2020 for €3.3 million from Chelsea has been instrumental for the side since his arrival.

The former Chelsea right-back has been in top form since returning from injury and looks to have reclaimed his starting spot in Graham Potters’ team.

According to reports in the English media outlet, the Red Devils are interested in the enterprising right-back but will have to beat off competition from Arsenal to secure his services.
