Tariq Lamptey: Ghana making 'serious efforts' to snatch Brighton and Hove Albion defender

Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council member George Amoakoh has revealed the football's governing body is holding talks with Brighton and Hove Albion defender Tariq Lamptey about a possible switch of international allegiance.

Born to Ghanaian parents in London, the 19-year-old has caught the attention of Ghana football officials with a streak of fine performances at club level, the most recent being an outstanding showing in Monday's Premier League clash between Brighton and Chelsea.

He currently plays for England at U20 level but remains eligible to feature for the Black Stars as he has not made a senior competitive appearance for The Three Lions.
