“We’ve had a really good season the boys have done fantastic throughout the season and we’ve worked very hard through different challenges that we’ve had” he said

“We just trying to buy into what the gaffer has to say and I think you’ve seen the results on the pitch now we are playing in Europe for the first time in the club history next season in the Europa League so it should be amazing and I think we’re all looking forward to it” he added

Lamptey made his debut appearance for Ghana on 23 September in a 3–0 friendly loss against Brazil at the Stade Océane in Le Havre.

Lamptey was also a member of Ghana’s squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
