Sunderland have successfully completed the signing of Brighton & Hove Albion’s star right-back, Tariq Lamptey, in a major coup for the club. The highly anticipated move brings one of the Premier League’s most exciting young talents to the Championship. Lamptey, known for his blistering pace, agility, and impressive defensive capabilities, has been a standout performer for Brighton since his arrival from Chelsea in 2020.
The deal, reportedly worth around £15 million, sees the England Under-21 international commit to Sunderland on a long-term contract. Lamptey’s arrival is expected to significantly bolster Sunderland’s defensive options and add a new dynamic to their attacking play from the right flank.
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray expressed his excitement about the transfer, highlighting Lamptey’s potential to make a substantial impact in the Championship. “Tariq is a player we have admired for a long time,” Mowbray said. “His speed, technical ability, and enthusiasm will be invaluable as we aim for promotion this season.”
Lamptey’s move represents a significant investment by Sunderland and a clear statement of their intent to compete at the top end of the Championship table. Fans can look forward to seeing the dynamic defender in action as the club seeks to build on their recent successes.
