Ghana or England? This is Tariq Lamptey’s response

Brighton and Hove Albion right wing-back, Tariq Lamptey, has said he is still undecided whether he will represent Ghana or England at the international level and stated he’s focused on Brighton at the moment.

The 19-year-old former Chelsea player is the subject of discussion lately for his amazing performances this season.

Lamptey when asked which country he’ll represent at the senior level, the right-back responded “no” and is only focused on the next game in hand

“I’m still young so I’m just looking forward to the next game which is Manchester United and keep playing as well as possible. Whatever comes next, we’ll see”, Lamptey said before the Man Utd game on Saturday.

“At the moment I’m just focused on Brighton and playing as many games as possible, keep training as hard as possible, keep playing well and keep a consistent level.

“At the end of the day, the harder I work and the more games I get in are the most important things for my development.

“What happens in the future on the international side, we’ll have to wait and see.”

Tariq Lamptey made his England U-21 debut earlier this month and could face stiffer competition from the likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker.

Lamptey was born in England to Ghanaian parents and is eligible to represent either country. He has represented England from U-18 to the U-21 levels.
