According to the Ace sports journalist, Richmond Lamptey is a good alternative for defensive midfielder or right-back for Premier League club Arsenal, Thomas Teye Partey who couldn’t join the final 27-man squad for the (AFCON) tournament.
On his Fir for Fire show, Countryman Songo stated that Richmond Lamptey is a starter player not supplous so the coach should select him among his first 11 players.
“We want to tell the coach that Richmond Lamptey is not supplous, he is even better than some of the players he trusts in the Black Star, am I lying? so Richmond Lamptey not a supplous he is a starter. He is a good player, in the absence of Thomas Partey, the coach should start with Richmond Lamptey” He said.
