Tariq Lamptey

The kid's learning to drive at an arcade. We're not sure if that's a good idea.

Size doesn't matter, gents. No, it really doesn't. Take a look at this player who plays as a defender for Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. in the Premier League. Riq, as he''s fondly called, is an agile and balanced player who is deployed as a right-back for his team but can also be used as a right-midfielder. Born in London, England, to Ghanaian parents, he began playing at Larkspur Rovers before joining Chelsea's academy. He spent 11 years with them and made his professional debut for the Fulham based team in 2019. It was against one of their fiercest rivals too. Understanding that he was not going to get game time, he moved to Brighton in January 2020. He has impressed with The Seagulls so far. A pacy dribbler, he needs to work on his defensive game a bit. Not that he has perfected his offense, but when you've decided to play in a role that requires you to be aware, you cannot be caught napping. There can never be an off moment for this English national.
