Bayern Munich make shock enquiry for ex-Chelsea youngster

 


Bayern Munich have made an enquiry for former Chelsea youngster and Brighton right-back Tariq Lamptey, claims Sport1.

 

The Bundesliga giants are desperate to sign a new right-back as competition for Benjamin Pavard now Joshua Kimmich has been moved into central midfield on a full-time basis.

 

Bayern were confident of signing Sergino Dest but are now resigned to the Ajax right-back joining Barcelona, while Norwich's Max Aarons is also on their radar.

 

However, it is now claimed Hansi Flick's side have emerged as suitors of Chelsea's former academy graduate, Lamptey.

 

 

The 19-year-old has been a revelation since leaving Chelsea to join Brighton at the start of the year and is currently being eyed by Ghana despite the fact he has represented England at underage level.

 

Many have questioned why Chelsea let the teenager go and could be made to rue their decision further if Lamptey completes a high profile switch to Bayern in the next week.

 

Only Jamie Vardy (3) has won more penalties than Lamptey (2) in the Premier League this season, while the Brighton starlet also has one assist to his name in three appearances.
