ALBION star Tariq Lamptey believes that his injury problems are behind him as he impressed against Chelsea.

The former Blue academy product suffered a hamstring injury that kept him out of action for ten months.

Since his return the 21-year-old has been in immense form for Albion and has looked dangerous every time he steps on the field.

He told BBC Radio Sussex: "I think I have managed it really well and I am thankful for everyone that helped me in my rehab.

"That is behind me now and I am looking forward to getting on the pitch and playing more and more games.

"I have had a good run recently and I am just happy that I can help and contribute to the team and working hard to stay on the pitch when needed.

The form Lamptey has been in since his return has not gone unnoticed as teams from across the Premier League are being reported to be interested in signing the wide-man.

Clubs such as Manchester United and Tottenham have been linked with moves, however, it is clear how highly regarded Lamptey is at Albion and that they will not want to lose their star man.
