Chelsea's Tariq Lamptey has shocked Frank Lampard by agreeing on a deal for an undisclosed fee to leave the club for Brighton in January after rejecting a contract offer with the west Londoners.
Brighton have been searching for a new right-back for the last two transfer windows and have assured the 19-year-old he will get his first-team chances under Graham Potter.
Lampard rated Lamptey highly and used him off the bench in the 2-1 win away at Hull City in the FA Cup which was his third appearance of the season.
