Tariq Lamptey exit will bring in £35 million defender. According to rumors, Chelsea’s pursuit of Malo Gusto may be aided by the defender Tariq Lamptey of Brighton & Hove Albion leaving the Premier League club during the January transfer window.
Lamptey appears to be leaving the Seagulls, and according to Fabrizio Romano, numerous clubs in Europe are interested in signing him. Lyon is one squad that is interested in hiring him, as the French team is seeking a replacement for Malo Gusto. Gusto is rumored to be moving to Chelsea in January, and if that were to happen, he would probably cost roughly £35 million.
Consistent injuries have slowed Tariq Lamptey’s growth at Brighton and kept him from realizing all of his potential. The former Chelsea player has to play more frequently to continue developing because he has only started one Premier League game this year.
Lamptey will be hopeful that leaving Brighton would help him regain his form and overcome the ailments and fitness issues that have plagued him this season. The Evening Standard reported that Arsenal was likely to compete with Chelsea for the services of Ecuadorian midfielder Moises Caicedo in the summer.
The 21-year-old midfielder has made a name for himself in the league as one of the top prospects, and Chelsea has already expressed a keen interest in him this transfer window. The Gunners are allegedly considering a summer transfer for the Ecuadorian and have been linked with further potential midfield reinforcements.
Declan Rice, the captain of West Ham, is another player the Blues are interested in signing. Rice reportedly wants to work with Mikel Arteta. The Everton midfielder Amadou Onana, who has moved to Goodison Park from Lille for £33 million, is another player the Gunners are closely monitoring. He might be used by the Gunners as a talented and economical option to strengthen their midfield for the upcoming season if their other efforts fail, as relegation for the Merseyside club is a serious possibility.
