Queens Park Rangers have announced the signing of Tariq Lamptey, a right-back previously with Brighton & Hove Albion and most recently Fiorentina. The move comes as a free transfer following Lamptey’s exit from the Italian Serie A club. This acquisition bolsters QPR’s defensive options ahead of the upcoming season. Lamptey brings Championship experience from his time at Brighton, although his stint in Italy proved short-lived. The versatile defender will add pace and attacking threat to the R’s squad. QPR will hope Lamptey can quickly integrate into the team and become a key player. This signing represents a significant coup for the club, landing a player with Premier League pedigree without a transfer fee.
