New defender: Black Stars assistant coach George Boateng meets Tariq Lamptey

Brighton and Hove Albion defender Tariq Lamptey met with Ghana assistant coach George Boateng.

Prior to the 2022 World Cup, Boateng, who just quit his position as Aston Villa U2-assistant 3’s coach, has been scouting Ghanaian talents in the UK.

The Black Stars technical staff, led by Otto Addo, is making every effort to put together a strong team that can honorably represent Ghana in Qatar later this year.

As part of his scouting mission, the Black Stars assistant trainer met with the former England youth star who has switched allegiance to play for the West African powerhouse.

The Brighton defender is among the five Europe-born Ghanaian players who have switched nationality to represent the four-time African champions.

George Boateng has already met Jordan Ayew and Jeffery Schlupp who plies their trade for Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

He is expected to visit other national team players ahead of the 2022 World Cup tournament.
