Italian side Fiorentina has agreed a deal to sign Tariq Lamptey from Brighton & Hove Albion
Italian side Fiorentina has agreed a deal to sign Tariq Lamptey from Brighton & Hove Albion in the ongoing summer transfer window.
Last week, Ghanasoccernet.com revealed that the La Viola is considering signing the right back before the transfer window shut on Monday, September 1.
It is now confirmed that the deal is worth up to £6m, including add-ons. The Ghana international is now expected to fly to Italy to complete his move this weekend.
Lamptey is expected to be a backup option for Brazilian defender Dodo as they kick off their new season this weekend.
His campaign last season was hampered by recurring injuries, limiting him to just 15 appearances for Brighton.
Despite the setbacks, he managed to contribute two goals and several assists. In Brighton’s first three games of the season against Fulham, Everton and Oxford United, Lamptey was not included in any of the matchday squads.
Since joining Brighton from Chelsea, the former right-back has accumulated 104 appearances, scoring three goals and establishing himself as a versatile option on the flank.
Meanwhile, Tariq Lamptey has been named in Ghana’s squad for the Matchday 7 and 8 games of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Mali next month.
