The Black Stars defender ended the year in style after scoring a belter to salvage a point for the Seagulls in their four-goal thriller against Aston Villa in December. He also netted a sensational volley for Brighton in their 2-2 draw against Leicester City.
Lamptey will compete for the award against Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak, Cole Palmer of Chelsea and Manchester United’s Amad Diallo.
Enes Unal’s freekick for Bournemouth against West Ham, Matheus Cunha’s Olimpico against Manchester United and Chris Wood’s lobbing goal for Nottingham Forest against Everton have all been nominated for the award.
The 24-year-old is enjoying a good season after recovering from a slow start to command a place in Brighton’s starting eleven.
Lamptey has already netted two goals in seven Premier League games this season to add to two assists as well.
