Brighton and Hove Albion defender Tariq Lamptey has expressed his excitement about the upcoming arrival of his compatriot Ibrahim Osman from FC Nordsjaelland.
The 19-year-old right-back will join the Premier League club on July 1, following a transfer worth £16m.
Lamptey, who is already established at Brighton, has been looking forward to welcoming Osman and supporting his integration into the team.
“He’s a good guy and I think he’ll do well so I’ll help him out and he’ll be good just to enjoy his football, that’s what it’s about,” Lamptey said, highlighting his readiness to assist Osman.
The 23-year-old defender also praised Osman’s skills and work ethic, emphasizing his excitement about Osman joining Brighton.
“You know that he’s a really good player. He’s young but he’s really good, he’s hardworking so I’m really excited to welcome him into the squad. We’ve already spoken about it at the last camp,” he added.
Having been part of Brighton’s historic European debut last season, Lamptey anticipates another memorable season ahead, buoyed by the potential contributions of Osman.
Both players recently represented Ghana in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, where they secured crucial victories against Mali and the Central African Republic (CAR), revitalizing Ghana’s hopes of qualifying for the tournament.
