Brighton defender Tariq Lamptey has been captured performing some impressive dance moves during his initiation to Ghana.
The 21-year-old has been called up to the international side for the first time in two weeks after choosing to represent his parents’ country.
Players called up to the Ghana side for the first time are traditionally made to show off their dance moves as a form of welcome to the team, and Lamptey is captured giving his version of the performance.
Tariq Lamptey is captured showing his dance moves during his international service
In a video streamed live on attacker Daniel-Kofi Kyereh’s Instagram, Lamptey is first seen circling an open space from his seat.
The right-back starts to walk slowly to cheers, before adjusting his routine and showing off some unique moves as his teammates start laughing.
He seems to get more into the performance as it progresses, walking backwards before bursting into laughter himself.
More laughter is heard as he starts jumping around, before sitting back down to applause.
Lamptey previously represented England at youth level – from under-18s to under-21
The London-born right-back has played for England from Under 18 to U21 level in the past, but recently changed his international alliance.
Ghana has also lured Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu and Athletic Bilbao forward Inaki Williams.
A statement from Ghana FA chairman Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku said: ‘Tariq Lamptey, Inaki Williams, Mohammed Salisu, Stephan Ambrosius, Patrick Pfeffer and Ransford Yeboah [are] available for national selection.
“We have always maintained that we will not limit ourselves to just a small group of players, but will scout out top talents around the world who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the nation and take us to the next level.”
