Arsenal have reportedly made their interest in Tariq Lamptey available at the right price with the Brighton right-back.
The 21-year-old has been acting for the Seagals since recovering from his hamstring injury, which saw the youngster feature in 11 Premier League outings with one assist.
And he impressed once again on Wednesday night as he helped the south coast side earn a point away from former employer Chelsea.
Following his dazzling performance from the previous stint, the England youth international was linked with a switch to Emirates in the winter transfer window as a possible replacement for Hector Bellerin.
But the Spanish defender, who was rumored to be a target for Barcelona, failed to secure a transfer back to Catalonia, eliminating a possible move for Lamptey.
A summer stint for the former blues academy was then speculated, but Mikel Arteta chose instead to bring on versatile Japanese star Takehiro Tomiyasu from Bologna.
However it has been claimed that Lamptey is now back on Arsenal’s radar, with Bellerin on loan and Ainsley Maitland-Niles set to join Roma.
And according to transfer guru Duncan Castles, Brighton are happy to sell the player if the price they demand is met.
