Explaining his move, Lamptey told 90min: “I’m an ambitious boy. I look at things and enjoy them at the moment, but the next day I’m looking to see what I need to improve on and how I can stay at that level. I’m always looking for a chance to play again, and that moment made me even more hungry. I’d had a taste of it and I wasn’t going to let it go.
“I sat down with the coaches, family members and agents and thought about what’s best for me. It was a really tough decision. Being at a club since the age of nine, going up through the whole system and making your first-team debut, everything happened so quickly, but I had to look at where I would get the most football and how I could take my game to the next level.
However, he confessed that it was not an easy decision to make but after sitting with his family, he had to make the decision that has turned out to be the best for him.
Meanwhile, leaving Brighton in the future is a possibility for Tariq Lamptey as he is opened to moving to another level.
