Atlético is also involved in the race for Tariq Lamptey, one of the revelation players in this start of the Premier. The 20-year-old right-back is causing a sensation in the ranks of Brighton, a club he joined from Chelsea. Formed in the Stamford Bridge club, of Ghanaian origin ends his contract in 2023, but already has several clubs following him to the millimeter. Bayern and Sevilla are two of them, but Atlético has been the last to be interested in their situation, according to the Daily Mail and has been able to confirm Ace. It is a defense of short stature (1.65 m), but that can be deceiving. Above all, its impact on the game and its energy is striking. Able to go through the band quickly and tirelessly and with the necessary pause in the last third of the field.
The Mail explains that the battle for the defense is served. He is a defender who leads dribbling and interceptions between the Premier's wings. He is the third in terms of defensive duels won, which indicates his concentration and strength in the one on one. In addition, you can occupy more advanced positions on that right wing. He had to leave Chelsea, with whom he shared a generation with the Mount, Hudson-Odoi or Reece James. But in January he searched for minutes and now he's seducing scouts across Europe. Brighton want to get ahead to avoid problems next summer and improve and extend their contract. Atlético have some problems in the right-back position. Vrsaljko is injured again and Trippier has an investigation hanging over his head for breaching the rules of laying. In addition, Arias, on loan at PSV, is seriously injured. Atlético follows Lamptey in the future, it is one more option in the medium-long term.
