Bayern Munich in hot pursuit of 19-year-old former Chelsea starlet

Reports in Germany claim that Bayern Munich are interested in signing former Chelsea starlet Tariq Lamptey .

SPORT1 reports the Champions League winners want to poach rapid right-back Lamptey from Brighton.

The Bundesliga giants’ boss Hansi Flick is said to be looking for a backup for right back for Benjamin Pavard, and Lamptey fits this profile and could prove to be decent value.

The 19-year-old has bagged three assists in three Prem games this season, including one against The Blues.

But The Seagulls are holding out for £23million for their asset but the German champs are only looking to fork out £14m.

The youngster was heavily scouted by both RB Leipzig and OGC Nice earlier in his career in Chelsea’s youth teams and was almost signed by both clubs at different times.
