The Brighton wonderkid left Chelsea’s Under-23 set-up to join the first-team squad at the Amex and his lightning displays have turned heads around the Premier League.

Lamptey already has three assists to his name this campaign, including one against his former club in their first game of the new top-flight season by setting up Leandro Trossard in the Seagulls’ 3-1 defeat.
