Julen Lopetegui, the manager of West Ham, is reportedly seeking reinforcements in January, with Tariq Lamptey from Brighton being one of his targets. Lamptey, who is in the final year of his contract, is said to be dissatisfied with the limited playing opportunities provided by Brighton's manager, Fabian Hurzeler. This dissatisfaction is leading him to contemplate a move away from the club, making the upcoming winter transfer window the last opportunity for Brighton to secure a fee for him.
