According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Everton remain admirers of Brighton and Hove Albion right-back Tariq Lamptey despite his new deal.
The 20-year-old joined the Seagulls from Chelsea on a three-and-a-half-year deal last January, and his impressive performances have also attracted the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City.
Lamptey was heavily linked with Bayern Munich last summer, but he has signed a new four-and-a-half-year deal, ending any chances of leaving Brighton this month.
Nevertheless, Everton and Man. City are unlikely to be put off by Lamptey’s new deal, and he could be snapped up in the summer if a suitable offer arrives and he is open to a new challenge.
