Brighton & Hove Albion defender Tariq Lamptey has expressed his excitement about the arrival of his compatriot Ibrahim Osman to the English Premier League club.

Osman, a highly-rated young forward, has signed with Brighton for a transfer fee of £16 million.

Lamptey praised Osman, emphasizing his talent and work ethic. “Ibrahim Osman is a really good player,” Lamptey said, as quoted by The Argus. “He’s young, but he’s really good. He’s hardworking, so I’m really excited to welcome him into the squad.”

The two players are already familiar with each other, having been teammates on the Ghanaian national team.

Lamptey is looking forward to mentoring Osman during his first season in England’s top league. “We’ve already spoken about it at the last camp,” Lamptey revealed. “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.”

With Lamptey’s guidance and Osman’s raw talent, both players have the potential to make a significant impact for Brighton in the upcoming season.
