'He has a long way to go in his career but we're excited for him': Brighton boss Graham Potter hails rising star Tariq Lamptey after shining on the south coast after joining from Chelsea

Brighton manager Graham Potter is excited by Tariq Lamptey's potential and believes he has the mentality to thrive in the top-flight.

Lamptey has established himself as a mainstay within Potter's side, despite having only made the move to the seaside club from their Stamford Bridge counterparts for £4million in January.

Lamptey has only featured 15 times in the Premier League for Brighton, but Potter has expressed his 'excitement' about working with the 20-year-old.
