The nomination recognises the 20-year-old’s impressive performances against Chelsea, Newcastle United and Manchester United when he has received praise from both his manager Graham Potter and the media.

The Premier League said of Lamptey, ‘The 20-year-old’s all-action displays were a constant feature for Brighton & Hove Albion, and the wing-back supplied an assist against Chelsea.’
