The Portuguese giants have joined the queue for the services of the 22-year-old Ghanaian fullback in the ongoing winter transfer window
Portugal Primeira Liga side Sporting Lisbon are currently in the race to sign Ghana international right-back Tariq Lamptey, according to reports from the English media.
The former Chelsea Academy product, who is currently on the books of English Premier League side Brighton, is on the wish list of French Ligue 1 outfit Olympique Lyon and are hopeful of landing him this January.
And now, an emerging report from The Athletic has indicated that, the Ligue 1 outfit are set to face a stiff competition from the Portuguese giants over their transfer target man.
Nonetheless, an additional reports from the Portuguese media have claimed that, Sporting Lisbon would like to replace their Spanish defender, Pedro Porro, with the acquisition of the Ghanaian fullback as the Spaniard is set to move to English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in this ongoing window.
Lamptey has this term struggled for game time under manager Roberto De Zerbi and a loan move this January will be ideal for the 22-year-old to revamp his confidence in this season's top-flight contest.
The London-born stopper has been capped four times by Ghana at the men's senior national team, the Back Stars having switched allegiance to represent the west African nation in September last year.
