Everton are reportedly plotting a move for Brighton right-back Tariq Lamptey, who is set to be out of contract in June. Everton see him as a potential free signing to cover for players leaving the club, and he would be beneficial for Everton in terms of Profitability and Sustainability Rules. Everton's interest is driven by the need to strengthen the right-back position, especially with veteran players Ashley Young and Seamus Coleman set to be free agents.

Tariq Lamptey is said to be attracting interest from Everton. The Ghana international has an expiring contract at Brighton & Hove Albion, making him a target for several clubs. The highly sought-after right-back is also being watched by clubs such as Ajax, who are eager to sign him on a free transfer when his contract ends. Additionally, Sporting CP is reported to have an interest in Lamptey. Everton, along with these other European clubs, may be preparing to negotiate a deal for the skilled defender, who has been able to discuss terms with other teams since January.
