Albion defender Tariq Lamptey is reportedly close to signing a new contract.

The 20-year-old has become a key player for Graham Potter since making his Premier League debut for them back in June against Leicester.

He has made 11 appearances so far this season scoring one goal and getting three assists.

His performances for the Seagulls have led to him earning his first cap for England U21's in October.

Lamptey is currently out with a hamstring injury, which has seen him miss Albion's last six matches in all competitions.
