Ghana defender Tariq Lamptey is set to embark on a new chapter in his career after agreeing to join Fiorentina on a deal that will run until 2030, once his contract with Brighton & Hove Albion comes to an end in 2026.
The 23-year-old full-back has been a standout performer in the Premier League since leaving Chelsea for Brighton in 2020, catching the eye with his pace, agility and attacking prowess down the right flank. Although injuries have occasionally disrupted his progress, Lamptey has remained a key player for the Seagulls and a regular feature for the Black Stars, representing Ghana at the 2022 FIFA World Cup and in their ongoing qualification campaign for 2026.
Fiorentina have been tracking Lamptey for some time and see him as a cornerstone for their future squad. By tying him down until 2030, the Serie A outfit have demonstrated their long-term vision and ambition to strengthen their defensive options while maintaining an attacking edge.
For Lamptey, the move represents both a fresh challenge and an opportunity to test himself in another top European league, while Brighton will retain his services for the next two seasons as they continue to build under Roberto De Zerbi.
The deal marks a significant step in Lamptey’s career and further highlights the growing influence of Ghanaian players in Europe’s elite competitions.
