Everton urged to prioritize Tariq Lamptey signing in the summer

English Premier League side, Everton has been urged to prioritize the signing of English-born Ghanaian defender Tariq Lamptey this summer ahead of Max Aarons.

This is according to ex-Premier League goalkeeper Paddy Kenny who believes that the Norwich City teenager won’t be the best option when compared to the Brighton sensation.

“They could be making a mistake," Paddy told Football Insider when commenting on Everton’s pursuit of Max Aarons.

The ex-goalkeeper continued, “Would he [Max Aarons] want to stay at Norwich after they’ve just been promoted? It would be difficult for him to leave.

“But he is a Championship player, he’s not Premier League at the moment."

“It is a lot of money to pay for a player who has just been promoted but has only played one season in the Premier League."

“Lamptey could be the one. He’s a very good player. Everton is hit-and-miss. You don’t know what you’re going to get from them each week."

“They need to start getting a little bit more consistent. A right-back, you’d think, would be part of that.”

Currently, Tariq Lamptey is out injured and could possibly not play again until the end of the 2020/2021 football season.

He displayed impressive form in the first round of the English Premier League campaign and has been tipped to develop into a top player.
