Asante Kotoko deputy captain Richmond Lamptey has been making headlines, with growing calls for his inclusion in the Black Stars, Ghana’s national football team.
Lamptey is enjoying an outstanding season at Kotoko and is widely regarded as one of the best midfielders in the Ghana Premier League. His exceptional qualities on the field, including forward passes, technical security, vision, ball retention, defense-splitting passes, and shooting technique, have garnered attention.
Known as one of the best passers in the league, Lamptey showcased his skills in the highly anticipated Super Clash between Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak, contributing to two goals and helping Kotoko secure a 3-2 victory.
Many advocates for Lamptey’s inclusion in the Black Stars argue that his impressive qualities make him a deserving candidate for national team selection. The midfielder’s notable performances have sparked discussions about his potential inclusion in the squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
