Chelsea
Lamptey was born in Hillingdon, Greater London. He is a product of the Chelsea youth system, joining the academy at the age of 8.

On 29 December 2019, Lamptey made his professional footballing debut away against Arsenal in the Premier League, replacing Fikayo Tomori in the 59th minute where he was a lively presence helping Chelsea come back from 1–0 down to win 2–1. Speaking to Chelsea TV after the game, Lamptey described how nervous he was making his debut: “My heart was racing, this is the moment me and my family have been waiting for.” Lamptey became the seventh academy graduate to make a first-team appearance during Frank Lampard’s managerial tenure at Chelsea, following in the footsteps of Mason Mount, Billy Gilmour, Reece James, Marc Guehi, Tino Anjorin and Ian Maatsen. Lamptey made two more appearances for Chelsea both coming in FA Cup wins over Nottingham Forest at home and Hull City away before leaving the club. He made a total of three appearances for The Blues.

Brighton & Hove Albion
On 31 January 2020, the winter transfer deadline day, Lamptey completed a permanent transfer to Brighton & Hove Albion, signing a three and a half year deal. Lamptey made an impressive debut for The Seagulls in his first Premier League start, a 0–0 away draw against Leicester on 23 June – Brighton’s second match back from the Premier League’s temporary break due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

He started in The Seagulls opening match of the 2020–21 season against his former club Chelsea in which he set up Leandro Trossard’s goal in the 3–1 home defeat.
