Lamptey is one of the three local players to have made the final 27-man squad for the continental tournament.
“It’s an honour, feels good, and I’m very happy. I would like to thank Otumfuo, past and present management of Kotoko, supporters and my teammates”
“Growing up, I dreamt of playing for the Black Stars and for me to be included in the 27-man squad it’s an honour and I’m very happy” he said.
