Queens Park Rangers have added some pace and Premier League pedigree to their backline, confirming the signing of full-back Tariq Lamptey, according to BBC News.

The 25-year-old, who came through Chelsea's academy before making his name at Brighton, joins the Championship side as a free agent following his release from the Amex Stadium. Known for his explosive speed and attacking threat down the flank, Lamptey established himself as a regular for Brighton after his 2020 move from Chelsea, though injuries disrupted his progress in recent seasons.

His arrival at Loftus Road gives QPR a proven top-flight operator as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new Championship campaign. Full financial and contract details of the deal have not been disclosed by the club.

Lamptey's switch to west London represents a fresh start for a player once tipped for a bright future in the Premier League, and Rangers will hope his experience at the highest level can help drive their promotion ambitions this season.
