The London-born right-back featured from U18 to U21 level in the past for the Three Lions but has now switched his allegiance to the Black Stars - who he qualifies to play for through his parents.

Lamptey - who has been linked with the likes of Tottenham and Arsenal in recent months - has just enjoyed a solid season with the Seagulls after they secured a top half Premier League finish, and his presence will be key for the team ahead of the World Cup in Qatar next year.
